Interesting story. I really like the angle on no taxing the microbrews.
They attempted a really large raise on beer tax here in Oregon this past session, and thank goodness it's failed. Would have drove many many microbreweries out of business.

You're basically not going to get good results on your electric stove.
Invest in a Camp Chef burner and a new propane canister. The Turkey Frier kits I see out there nowadays would fit the bill perfectly.
