Of home cooking ranges, coil electrics are the best for this use. With possible upgrade of the heat control (”infinite switch”) and element on some, you get a 2600 watt burner. No home grade gas stove can come close to the effective heating power of this.
I learned to cook on one of those. I hate cleaning out the burner wells.
I have an electric w/a smooth glass top and have had one like it for over 10 years. I love it. If the SHTF and I am reduced to our backups (variety), I will be sad. I am going to enjoy this one as long as possible.
I have thought about setting up a summer kitchen, but then I still have the problem of strength and leverage. Those canners get heavy.
