Almost forgot the pics Embarassed

53:










And the 54:









3 of my Merseys have the "tested" stamp, but this is my only one with a sticker:



I'll have to get a picture taken of the 54's box and post.

By the way Nick, what burner(s) were you using under the 54 in the video?


I was using a small Bowman burner (can't remember, but I think from my m135). I just stick the tube through the firebox slot. I was hoping my 53's burner would work (minus a wick tube) but the spacing is different, so I'll most likely have to make one.

I thought I saw a bowman burner in there! Is the 53's burner a three or four wick? When you say the spacing's different - does that imply that Mersey didn't have a 'standard' d'you think?
