Gas burners - you don't need any form of license for these.
What you do need is a Risk Assessment that deals with the use of the burner and also with the transport and storage of the gas (propane/butane). If you must have one of these, then there really should be an appropriate type of fire extinguisher in the cabin (with trained personnel) and a fire blanket, also some designated method for raising the alarm (not necessarily a klaxon, but at least a good shout).
The gas bottle should be upright in a well-ventilated area when used and also when stored, and should not be stored in the cabin. The storage area should be clearly marked with appropriate signage for flammable gases. Any vehicle which is used to transport the gas should be similarly marked and the gas bottle should be kept upright.
Any suggestion that you should transport the gas in the boot of your own car should be avoided.
