I've seen pics of this and it makes me a bit worried that something will go wrong, or of there's a leak in the metho through a seal or connection it could run down the tubing and the whole bottle will go 'whoosh'
Yes both the stoves have a external fuel feeder, it's not included with the stoves, you have to order them separately, The Remote feeder sold by MiniBullDesigns in my opinion is a lot safer than the feeder sold by Smokeeter908, The MiniBullDesign Remote feeder is more stable and better craftmanship. No problems with the seal, in particular with the MiniBullDesign system.
The Mini Heat Stove don't work for dry baking, not as expected, it needs to be readjusted constantly otherwise the flame is to large. My opinion the Mini Heat Stove is a failure for dry baking. For boiling and simmering food it would make a great stove, but for Dry baking, it's not precise enough.
I am in contact with Tinny from MiniBullDesigns for a couple weeks now, I asked him a couple weeks ago, what I'm looking for in a stove for dry baking and I think he has nailed this setup, but his suggestion of height for the wick in his recent youtube videos is to high, I've cut mine down to the length shown in the following image. I've just completed a boil test to see how long it takes to boil two cups of 21C water, Water came to a boil in 27 minutes, consumed 15ml (half ounce) of Fuel. I think this will work great for Dry Baking. Tests are run outside with a slight breeze using my Carbon Felt Windscreen.
