Hello,
I'm following this thread with interest and have already built ceramic burners myself with more or less success.
Among other things, a burner for an Aster 3-cylinder Shay, the Shay has been resold, I still have the burner, it has worked best for me so far, after a while it burns with an orange-red ceramic plate,
I also own a ceramic burner from Regner Aurach, they also burn with an orange-red ceramic plate.
Regner
What I found out about the Regner burner, the burner tube goes through the whole brass box to the other end and has slits on the bottom half, these point towards the ground and have been cut with a thin circular saw blade about half the diameter of the burner tube deep. Having seen this on the burner purchased, the burner was built for the Aster-Shay and as described above develops a beautiful orange-red flame.
I hope I expressed myself clearly here, I created the text with a translation program.
There is also an interesting post in a German forum about a self-made ceramic burner, of course everything in German, but with a translation I think you can read some of the builder's experience.
