The good thing with Mr Li's burner is that it's very easy to adjust to exactly the heat you want (with the extra needle valve that he installs). The glow of the IR element is also very visible, which is not always the case of an open flame.
If I understand you correctly, you didn't get the burner. I'm clueless about the portugese market, but I guess kitchen gas burners are common there. What you need to find is a burner which allows good control. While waiting for my Huky, I did look for alternatives which could be found at e.g camper supplies etc. Now, the IR burner does a good job, so no need for anything else.
You doesn't mention where you're going to roast. (Again...) I guess that you can find a sheltered place outdoors to at least start up using the roaster to build confidence. After all, climate in Portugal is very different to the Swedish climate for most of the year.
Also, using any gas stove is a matter of practicing routines and common sense. If you worry, invite any friend who have experience with kitchen gas burners to accompany you for your first roasts.
