Assuming there is no problem using open flames in the area, I would recommend using a portable laboratory burner of the type sold by Flinn Scientific (catalog no AP1032) http://www.flinnsci.com/store/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=14017  and also sold by other vendors.  This is a stable butane burner with a ring to adjust the air flow mixing with the gas and with a safety plate to prevent drips onto the butane canister.  I have used these successfully for over 30 years.

I work  in a charter high school and we are in a temporary school building with out any gas connection in the lab.
I would like to know is it ok to use propane camping burners for labs involving flames.(flame test).Any legal issues??
I had used small portable burners in the past ,but it is running out quick. Any help appreciated.
