That's good to know.

By the way, do you know a source for the type of ceramic as used by Cheddar in their burners and like in the picture above? It is a rather soft and porous material.

Hi,
You can obtain the ceramic plaque from: -
https://www.pollymodelengineering.co.uk/

Look under the 'Bruce Engineering' section and down load the free catalogue and a PDF order form.
They do mail order but you need to send in the order form by email since they don't have an on-line shop.

The ceramic Plaque is the same as was used by Cheddar Models.

Hope this helps.

Sandy.
