Burners

Hello all,

There are Meth burners, Spirit burners and Gas burners.
My question is. Are there Gel-burners ?
My Engines are still running on Esbit, and i modified my Esbit burner to use it with Gel, but thats not a good solution.
Are they for sale?


Happy Steaming

Not seen any Gel burners for sale as i know some on here use a solid fuel burner and line it with foil inside.

Correct

Why would you want to use gel? I'm confident that Spiritus from the supermarket (not the "bouwmarkt") is much cheaper.

I know Paul.
I use Spiritus for my Mamod engines.
One bottle of gel cost 69 cents by (AH).
Just wanted to try it, and works fine

It's a very clean burn and seems to generate more heat IMHO.

Are you talking about Sterno? My Midwest engine uses it and works well. I prefer gas as it is very easy to control the heat.
