Hi Jacquie,
I found a few sites you may want to look into. Both sites are from Colombia, which happens to be the 2nd largest producer of panela in the world.
http://panelaconvapor.com/index.php
There is a video link inside and it shows how it is done using gas.

This one is a very nice video on how panela is done, traditionally.
