shiro tisjimura oil burner

Speaking of burners,

Does anyone recall the CM issue that featured Shiro Tisjimura (spelling?)?
Last year or so. There was a pciture of his Anagama kiln with a what looked
like an encased fan at the fire hole. It was an oil burner of some sort.
Does anyone know what kind of burner that is, type of fuel, and where I can
get one?

Thank you!
