I bought a cheap Duxtop model & have been really enjoying it. Much more efficient than gas, and less need to run the stove vent which sucks all the conditioned house air up & pushes it outdoors. Heats very quick. The main downsides are some liability to trip breakers if I'm also running other appliances, and the induction coil is kind of small (7 inches?) so there's some hotspotting. This Impulse stove got submitted two weeks ago & was pretty popular. The title here is useless as heck, but it was a mind blowing brilliant idea to me. Having a couple kwh of onboard batteries lets the inductor run at mind-blowing power level for a little while, while still using a boring 120v wall socket. It's an amazing idea. https://www.impulselabs.com/ https://www.impulselabs.com/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38910734 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38910734 (52 points, 92 comments)
