I'm trying to distill alcohol without an open flame,

The still you can see at
http://www.maltmasterclass.co.uk/still.htm#top and
http://www.maltmasterclass.co.uk/ is usually run from a "Baby
Belling" heating ring, with the on/off control that you spurn. It
distills alcohol very well. Remember that the thermal inertia of the
still and its contents will moderate temperature fluctuations.

The still can also be run on gas and "traditional" fuels like peat,
but electric is less messy and avoids the potential problems of an
open flame.
