I really hope I can still get one!! Wilesco's website says order-related production is possible, and I saw them being sold normally a month or two ago on the website, so is it true they can still produce it and if not who might I be able to buy one off of, can do anywhere around the $600-900 range, but their website says 602 euros.
I'm pretty sure they're not produced anymore , Mini steam was about the only place in the US to get them, I think he sold out , but you can inquire.

Perhaps itīs about time, that SPS starts production of a new batch of gas burners ;)
I got "knocked" off by the Chinese years ago & haven't made them since.
I have seen them on Ebay from Serbia. I'm glad I bought the two sizes from SPS when I did.
"MADE IN USA"

I never knew that happened Bruce.
There's probably 10 listed right now on Ebay.

I would recommend using gel alcohol instead of Esbit, because it doesn't produce the unpleasant odours and residues associated with Esbit and it burns just as hot. You will need to make or adapt a tray for it.
-
The only reason I have not used Esbit in this engine is because its too new and shiny :D yo
That's why I prefer electric heat. The plant stays nice looking for a long time.

I was thinking of my jensen turbine and how it seems under powered even with the hot watt boiler. Guess i,ll order some esbit tablets and give it a try.
I would go with a gas burner 1st , or if you wanted to install an immersion rod heater I would've happy to show you how I do them 😉👍

Quite an attractive plant aren't they Doug.
I'm not sure why you don't think it wood run on Esbit as designed 🤔
These are very efficient runners.

I'm sure it will. It came with the Esbit burner tray didn't it?
A gas burner will run longer then the water will last.

I got this a few months ago, after seeing one that Nick had. But since it was a Christmas present, I couldn't open it right away. This was the first chance I've had to hook it up on air to run it. We got one of the free Harbor Freight flashlights our son had and dissected it enough to hook it up to the generator.
I'm not sure it would be able to be steamed on the Esbit pellets, and didn't have a propane burner handy. If anyone knows it the Esbit pellets will let it be steamed, let me know. Thanks.
