Developed and supplied by Forest Classics, BIX gas burners and conversion kits are designed specifically for model steam engines. With decades of experience developing and fitting BIX systems, we can help you choose the right burner, tank and fittings for your engine.

Ceramic burners are made in a variety of sizes, and are ideal for fitting to many existing boilers and hot air engines etc.

They are designed to be used with disposable self-sealing gas canisters. The recommended gases are Butane and Propane / butane mix upto 30% propane.

Ceramic burners are far more efficient, and also cleaner than the solid fuel or gel alternative. They utilise a ceramic element to distribute the burning gas evenly across the burners surface, and when coupled with a BIX tank, make a very aesthetically pleasing addition to any setup. They also make a very worthy investment, as the cost of alternative fuels can really add up over time.

All BIX ceramic burners, gas tanks, and kits come with full setup and operating instructions, but the video below from one of our customers will also help you to setup your new ceramic burner.

Why Convert to Gas?

Gas firing not only offers quicker start-ups and better temperature control, but also extends the life of your boiler by eliminating the sooty byproducts of fuel tablets. It’s the ideal solution for model engineers who want reliable, repeatable performance every time. Scroll down to view our products.
