Propane and electric are 'equivalent' in heat transfer
Propane flame is roughly 18*F hotter then electric element BUT propane flame is radiate heat transfer via spiral baffle---electric is conduction (direct contact)
Same/same
Propane can 'start' cooling process a bit quicker due to flame 'heating' up perk tube quicker but once process is started (ammonia liquid to vapor) electric and propane same.
