I've had a lot of people reach out to me in different media forms to ask me what I think the SE-03 would run like on gas. So I made a gas ceramic burner and removed the spirit burner from the base of the SE-03 and slipped in the gas burner and connected it up to a small BIX gas container.
It's been able to pour in a lot of heat into the vertical boiler and I have had a number of impressive and long runs from a boiler topped right to the top with water. Hopefully all those who asked gain something from this video, just be mindful of what I mention in the video about running the boiler dry if you choose to do this mod also.
