A question was recently posted on how to cook without electricity.
Been there, done that.
Sine we are mostly off grid for heat, this was my worry at one time.
Until I counted just how many ways I can cook off grid.
Uhhh, I shouldn't have worried.
First off, we have a grill on the deck. It take propane or charcoal...or in an emergency...wood. But it is outside it is great for the summer, but in the winter, just would just be too cold.
Camping stove? I have 2 of those believe it or not.
One is tiny, barely bigger than my hand, it sits on top of a liquid gas canister.
The other is an older two burner propane stove.
Is that enough yet hmmm. Nope. So I bought a small kerosene stove. I wanted something small to carry to craft events. Something that wouldn't take a lot of room, be light to carry, work for a long time if needed.

This is not large enough to can on but it can function much like a small gas stove. It is easily adjustable and it will work about 7 hours on a pint of kerosene. Because it works like a regular gas stove, anyone familiar with a gas stove can work it easily.
I did buy a steel wind screen and I have an large asbestos tile to sit it upon.
