I see Bret beat me to the punch here.
I don't know of a specific BIX set-up for the Jensen #75 as I either use a SPS burner or Sterno on mine.
However, I would think that if you contacted Mini-Steam, they would have a recommendation as to best options!

Bret's suggested 014 is likely just fine, but you'll also need to consider what kind of gas to use and thus what valve to get. If going butane, you may also want a dedicated tank, rather than just the bottle/can the gas comes in.

This is the one I use: https://www.ministeam.com/products/bix-014. With the pipe work of your choice and gas tank, it fits fine. You need to turn it sideways with a slight upward angle to fit thru the firebox opening. It then will rest on the tray for the original burner slide. No mods necessary.

HI all. I just reecently purchased a new Jensen Model #75.
Before I burn off the paint from the new firebox, my interest is adapting a gas burner...Bix or similar instead of using Esbit tabs.
Can anyone direct me to a vendor and offer the appropriate model/size burner for this engine? Is there a technical write-up discussing this retrofit? Thanks.
