I must say I do enjoy Fondue and yes electric to me far surpasses the open flame method. You can really control the heat. The flame versions do have a damper to reduce the heat but more often than not you end up putting the flame out.

If you have kids around using them open flames are an invitation to put the food into the fire rather than then fixings in the bowl.

Not sure what your budget is. I love the one by Trudeau because it has metal handles. I like them much better than plastic ones.

Be sure to pick up a fondue book. There are some wonderful recipes out there

I believe the electric ones regulate the heat better.

I can’t help you on a set as what is available here may not be available in whatever country you live.

Candle power tends to run too hot!
