Fed up with trying to get the alcohol burner right. On my Aster Old Faithful Loco,I thought someone would know of a source for ceramic burners.Bix are what I use, but the smallest they manufacture is the size I have in my Mercers,Wilesco 405/409. Any information on other manufacturers or methods?

Thank you.

Stuart models in UK also supply them, not sure if they would meet you needs but I have smallish ones in 3 of my bought built Peter Angus steam trams. Cant measure the size of the burner without pulling the loco to bits, but they are round and fit into the bottom if the vertical boiler which is roughly 6cm in diameter.
