Default possible/easy to change an appliance to be a dual voltage one?
The only way this might be possible would be if the unit had two 110V
heating elements that could be rewired in series (rather than parallel).
This is unlikely.

You might be able to find a 220-to-110 converter for heating devices (not
motors or transformer-powered devices). This simply reduces the waveform's
duty cycle, much as a lamp dimmer does.
