Making a DIY electric burner and stove

[gatewood]

Hey guys! Very amateurish electrician here.

I just finished watching a video of a guy making an electric burner and stove, using just a can, screws and wires:

He plugged the thing to a 12V battery to heat the setup, however, since most commercial burners/stoves can be plugged directly to the 120/220V current (I suppose that, had he plugged it to the wall, it would have heated way too much), I was wondering how could I make something similar and make it run without a battery or transformer?

those glow plugs run on 12V. this can be supplied by either a battery , transformer, or 12V PSU. plugging direct into the mains will fry them.

Yes you just buy one of these and plug it into the mains.
