I'm looking at something like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...pf_rd_i=507846


I'd like to move some of the heat out of the kitchen and have more room to work. I wondered if anyone uses something like this. If so how is it? How many watts do you need, is 1300 too much or too little? This would be used on a Presto 23qt.

Thanks
I have not used one of these... this looks like a good idea. Summer time, it would be awesome to set up a station out in the garage or something to keep the heat out of the house. I have used a turkey fryer burner before, but that was disastrous when I took my eyes off it for a couple seconds.
