Electric is the max temp of you power system so for 120v it's like 500°c and gas burns at like 1300°C you just need a lot more power in gas than in electricity

    Damn, I have a 240v induction stove, can I melt metal? 😆

    I tried searching this question but apparently there are safety features to prevent me doing cool stuff.

    I mean tin can be melted over a candle if it's made from beeswachs

    But yeah 240 volts is absolutely enough to melt iron and copper that's one reason why you have a breaker with an amperage corresponding to the wire in your wall
