A kitchen torch doesn't have enough energy, but one could use an electric or a wood, charcoal or gas grill. There is no way any state is going to take BBQ away from Americans.

There's also a Balkan variation of baba ganoush without tahini, just cooked eggplant, onion and sunflower or olive oil. It's boringly called 'eggplant salad' in my country. The Greek version is very similar and BBQing the eggplant makes even tastier. Another variation of this dish also exists in the Carribean, where it's called baigan choka.

BBQ grills are done outdoors though. They’re not particularly relevant

There are kitchen torches (Searzall) that are more powerful than most home gas ranges.
