This is a steam generator, a device to boil water to make steam for your steam chamber. Pans of water, pressure cookers, teapots, and camping kettles can all be adapted, and an electric wallpaper stripper is a ready-made solution that is very convenient although not necessarily the most efficient. Adjustable steam generators (e.g., a pressure cooker over a gas stove) offer great savings of energy as a well-insulated steam chamber does not need very much energy and steam to keep up to temperature between bends; however, when you open the lid you will need to turn up the power to replace the steam and heat that is lost.
