Maybe it would be feasable to heat to a semi boil with the propane, switch and distill with the hotplate? Obviously, taking care to avoid knocking stuff over and burning yourself.
I personally have never switched midway, being a loyal hotplate user, but the idea of a rapid ,or more rapid, boil intrigues me.

I used 3 1/2' fiberglass insulation, 16' because I had it, strapped oith electrical tape. Once, I used a heavy bath towel wrapped several times. I've even heard cow paddies will work.
