If you were thinking of buying a gas burner which one would you buy.
I have seen them at Forest Classics and  from chasteam.
Forest Classics has been recommended as very good.
Anybody with good or bad experience with burners ?
Cheers
Dave

I'd recommend Forest's BIX burners, got three of them and haven't looked back.

I agree with Philip.

I've got two and am very happy as well.

In my opinion the only place to buy is Forest Classics. I live in the states and even with shipping it is about 1/3 cheaper then ordering from the states and it only takes a little longer. All so Phil at Forest is a top notch guy and is always willing to help.

BIX is a sitter company to Forest so why not buy direct?

The BIX gas burners & gas tanks from Forest Classics are the way to go for all our gas firing needs. You'll be really happy with it.
