Tools of the trade / Re: Solder pot, plus Travel Adapters
Find what the rated wattage is, and get a step-up transformer of at least that wattage (a bit more if you might run something else of the same sort, so double the watts or triple). 

These things are often called 'travel adapters' for those from most of the world (AU, EU, etc. who all use 220-250VAC 50Hz power and various plugs) traveling to the US, where it's 110-125VAC 60Hz.  These are available both ways, step-UP or step-DOWN or BOTH ways with plug adapters.

For dialing down simple heating devices like heating pads or soldering irons (not temp controlled), I've built a little 4x4 box with a simple dimmer and outlet in it.  DON'T try to use that on sophisticated electronics.
