Hi folks! Very interesting thread on water storage, so I thought I'd ask my own preparedness question: cooking when the power fails. I live in the Rockies, and have an electric stove. Although the electricity is pretty stable, if it goes out, it can be out for days.
Right now I use a propane campstove, which is OK, but I don't really like having propane tanks around in an apartment - just asking for trouble. What are my options?
I've been thinking about camp stoves that burn other fuels, like alcohol or kerosene, or perhaps charcoal, but there are a lot of issues like carbon monoxide emissions which make them unsuitable for indoors use.
Any ideas? What do you use?
