This is the proposed circuit diagram.
PWM is not available with "Every Circuit" and so I have emulated it with FET gate input voltage at 50% and a corresponding 6v (12v) on the heating side.
Those are the numbers to raise 75mm of Nichrome wire 20C - data from various tables listing the wire properties.
I guess it's time to experiment.
PWM frequency is Arduino native 490hz with a NXP - PSMN1R6-30PL MOSFET to switch the system voltage at the required duty cycle for a given heater temperature. Identical, in principle, to the DSLR Peltier cooling circuit.
