That baster looks great for this application. I wouldn't recommend using a coffee filter (I just used one because it's all I had). The paper will hold some oils reducing your yield. Some metal (not nylon) window screen would be better I think. It would let some small partials pass but I don't see those impurities causing any problems with the final product.
WOW! That's three bad ideas at once. But did the whole neighborhood get high from the explosion fumes?
From my limited experience; I see no need for any heating at all. I'm sure a warm water bath would speed things up, but it's not needed. Just leave it outside for five to ten minutes (maybe an hour if it's cold and you are making a lot). The faster is boils the bigger the fire ball would be and the larger the area which it could be ignited from. I also don't like the idea of inhaling large amounts of butane, so I'd be happier to be inside wile it boils in my yard.
In one extreme case they got impatient and attempted to speed the evaporation process on a propane stove. Indoors.
