I love it! MTA (Si) had his 53 at Amberley last year - it was over flamed using all 5 wicks! After much sputtering and priming it went well, do you use all the lighted wicks?

My burner's got four wicks and they're alight. I've not got the wicks quite right yet though as the meths feed seems to vary.

Thanks - it does get confusing having two totally different configs with the same model name.
