That stove burner looks like an ideal tool. Nice find!
I've been experimenting with oddball reflow techniques for ages. You can even use a candle or an oil lamp, although the heat's pretty uneven so it only works for small boards. I have not yet tried using a woodstove (probably works pretty well once it's up to temp; I bet Abraham Lincoln reflowed his boards on a woodstove) or a solar furnace (probably really uneven and hard to control, but who knows).
