Lamps to heat jig heads......Thoughts

[plateboater]

I normally use a heat gun but looking at something different for little more custom work but the work takes longer. There has been some talk on here about lamps. Can a couple guys give me some thoughts on the link below. This place is one of the amish places.

I use an old bunsen burner from a chemistry set. Found them at Barlows also for around $10

Looks like it would work to me. I use an oil lamp with chimney for painting and for adding solder weight to some spoons. Only difference is that mine has the flat wide wick so it creates a flame around an inch wide. Not sure if the flat/wide wick would create more heat than a round wick? I like the chimney MUCH better than trying to heat over an open flame.
