I use sterno under one of my oven racks to cook, and I use chaffers like when catering to keep the food warm. These items are all amazing and select what works best for where you live. There are plenty of ways to have hot food. I think the suggestion for the carbon monoxide sensor is a GREAT idea. And, I order a case of Sterno once a month, or get it from Sam’s Club. That way we can safely cook inside. It has a very long shelf life, and I will use it eventually because I do catering. So, we will maintain the most inventory of the 6 hour sterno we possibly can. I have two very pretty chrome tea pot warmers that uses on tea light candle. It keeps a pot of tea warm enough to enjoy it for a few hours.

Consistency of cut is consistency of cook. Small pieces cook faster than large ones. Look up roll cutting used in wok cooking. Much more surface area so it cooks fast. Wok is designed to use with straw for high heat for brief time. Good for rocket stove. Propane is better than butane in cold weather (below freezing). Add pressure cooker for speed, cooking tough meat

Thank you for your video. My grandmothers wood stove ran 365 days a year. She was a slave to that thing, .. until she "escaped" to live in her own little place with all the conveniences of the modern day, and as soon as the son had to use it, it disappeared. Go figure. My "go to" emergency cooker is an old tobacco can just the right size to fit a roll of toilet paper into, then fill with Gas Line Antifreeze (alcohol) and cook or heat all you want. A fill last a good hour wide open, and to cut down the flame I use different sized round lids I cut from soup, stew, or apple juice cans. The bigger the lid, the smaller the flame. Use the tobacco can lid for a snuffer. The round end of a large apple juice can works best for me as a flame regulator. Just place it on the TP leaving the gap around the edges. This makes the fuel last longer too. This is a wet heat so if used indoors like in my ice fishing shack, be prepared for it to rain on you. Other than that, I use my Coleman two burner camp stove with the white gas. As soon as I have my Superadobe structure built, I have a small cast iron "two hole" wood stove cooker just waiting to be installed. With our weakening Magnetosphere, the worlds protective force field, we're now exposed to solar and cosmic events that may not bode well for humanity. And the "cycles" are all piling up on each other. Like the 400 year Sun Cycle called the Grand Solar Minimum. I have fire extinguishers beside the electric panels and that's about all I can do for now. The superadobe structure is windproof, fireproof, bulletproof and earthquake resistant. My backup to my backup. Have a great one and good luck.

It was hard to find one that didn't have an electronic igniter, especially for the oven. That was one of my requirements when we bought it. If it couldn't be lit with a match or a stick lighter, we didn't buy it. I don't know if that option is still available on Premier. If not, it may be available on commercial stoves. My neighbor bought a commercial range and it does not have electronic ignition. Hope this helps. Hope you find want you want, if you're in the market for a stove.

An Instant Pot on a solar generator works great. We tested cooking a frozen pork roast over raw beans for two hours and it only used 20% of our EcoFlow Delta Pro. We put the raw beans in water (2 inches above the beans) then put the roast on a grate over the beans. Added some spices and cooked for two hours. It was perfect and delicious. The Instant pot comes to pressure and heat, then uses very little energy, just enough to maintain itself for the rest of the cooking time.

For those with portable solar power stations...if your 12 volt cig port is 10 amps you can buy 12 volt 100 watt mini rice cookers that can cook multiple things (may work with 9 amp cig ports too). Mine uses only 22% of my little Golabs R300 power station to cook one dry cup of rice. There are also 400-500 watt toaster ovens and normal AC electric rice cookers that are lower wattage. I saw one that`s 300 watts. Plus 12 volt 120 watt immersion water heaters work with 10 amp cig ports and can boil a couple of eggs in a cup or heat water for instant coffee or tea. If you need a hot shower in a power outage you can buy 300-600 watt plug in bucket water heaters that work with larger power stations like a Jackery 500-1000 and an inexpensive rechargeable battery powered camp shower.

But if you get a 12 volt one look in the product description to check the wattage. A lot of the 12 volt cookers are under 100 watts. I haven`t tried any of those. The little rice cookers allow you to use the tiny solar power stations to cook a wide range of things. Mine came with a little measuring cup, a nice little paddle type spoon, a stainless steel bowl that doubles as a steamer as the rice cooks, and an extra fuse. These can be wired directly to a 100 watt solar panel or two in parallel if you get a cigarette port adapter or modify one. Then you can cook with just a solar panel. I bought the parts to try this but it has rained daily here. I`ll film the results when I do it.I`m 100% sure it will work.

It's a small one, but it will run a propane hot water on demand unit for 30 hours on one charge (or 15 days of 2 hour dishes, showers and cleaning)...propane electric start range, only the top burners one charge is good for 30 days easily...and an electric start propane fireplace in the winter one charge lasts 3 days. We've got wood and other backups in case we cannot get propane, but all in all it was fairly painless with the stations.

There is a reason why households in years before we had all of our modern conveniences had a separate "outdoor kitchen" which was used when it was too warm to fire up the stove inside :-) If you have an area outside, with some sort of roof or cover for rain protection and shielding from prevailing winds you too can have a nice place to cook by various methods. I have at times used my camp chef propane stove on my outdoor patio to operate my canner when I don't want to challenge the air conditioner during the heat of the summer! And firing up your outdoor grill (which CAN be used with your cast iron skillet or dutch oven as well as normal grilled food) is a wonderful excuse to relax in a nearby chair with a glass of wine because you must, of course, monitor whatever is cooking .

You can brew sugar shine by putting 4 1/2 cups sugar in a gallon water jug. Add very warm water, just enough to dissolve sugar, and shake shake shake. Then add more water to cool hot water down (don`t fill jug all the way) and add a high proof yeast and yeast nutrient and shake very well again to get oxygen mixed into the water to get the yeast going. Cap loosely so no bugs can get in or use an airlock and ferment in a dark place for 5 to 7 days or until solution is no longer sweet. Use a distiller or freeze for a couple of days. Pour out the alcohol. It should be very high proof with the freeze method but I`ve never used it. I use an Air Still when I need toothache medicine. 10 pounds of sugar can make aprox a gallon of aprox 80-100 proof. There`s no dangerous methanol in sugar shine so it`s safe. But do this at your own risk. It`s usually illegal except in certain places.

I have seen rocket stoves designed to have thermal mass benches that will supposedly heat an open concept cabin (it is cold here) as you modified your Temp-Cast. I am curious though as I cannot see a vent on that from your camera angles. It does need one, right?

I have a small wall mounted propane heater. I know it couldn't cook a big meal but could you show a way to use that next time? I would greatly appreciate it. I have not found any videos online about using my source of emergency heat. The best I can think of is heating up a can of soup with it.

You had wonderful ides. I am still trying to make my own solar oven. One has a black interior and others have the foil inside. The electric company doubled my bill, like everyone else, but have to find new ways to cook. Small solar power sounds all right but that seems very expensive. Thank you for your ideas.

That's a great list! I didn't know about the safe heat but will pick some up next time at Sam's. One thing not on the list, a Fondue pot. I was lucky and my mom gave me her 1970's Fondue pot. I found the right size sterno cans and am all set.

Good reminders of many ways to cook when power's out. Personally I have used homemade solar cooker, candles, tea lights, sterno/clean heat, rocket stove, slowpot insulated covering, dutch ovens, wood stove, gas grills w/w out burner, charcoal, open fire, brick fire grill and even on car engine under hood in foil packets when I was a kid. Yes. There are lots of ways. If there is a hot springs nearby, this can be used to cook as well. You just need a "float rack" for your pot to sit on that doesn't dip rim of pot under the water. If you need to in summer you can use a tin roof for "slow cooking" as we have done. Or dehydrating. Like that last option with the seat warmers.

We have C-O detectors in our home. 4 Years ago, my wife & I were just hanging out in our living room. I was watching a Movie & she was reading a book. We both fell asleep. A short time later, OUR detector went off, jolting us awake. We BOTH realized we had headaches. We turned OFF the Kerosene heater and opened the doors & windows. I have ZERO doubt the unit saved our lives! As for cooking, we have Two Butane Camp stoves and a Solar Cooker for power outages.

Although they may not be a daily major source of nutrition for many people, there are foods to eat that require no cooking and are nutritious and filling. Rolled oats is one . . . heard of overnight oats? Bulgur wheat (not cracked wheat) is another. If you soak it for 24 hours, it is ready to eat although instructions usually say to cook it for about 15 minutes. Those instructions are merely to rehydrate the product from a dry state. I find bulgur versatile, delicious and it is a staple in our house. Chia seed is another food. Soak for 24 hours. Look it up for pudding recipes and so forth.

Garrett Wade sells a beautiful kerosene fired stove. A bit expensive but high quality that will last forever. The Dutch Oven can also work with the Sun Oven when the sun is strong. The Omnia Camp Oven works with the butane stoves, as well as a wood fired camp stove using charcoal briquettes/hardwood lump charcoal. The CanCooker Food Steamer works well outdoors or over butane indoors. The COBB Grill is versatile and uses very little charcoal. Aluminum Pie Pans and some pie dough can be used to make a pot pie, stick it in either the sun oven or the Dutch Oven for a hearty meal.

I have a propane stove, and small BBQ grill, and I just bought a campfire in a can from st.vincent for $20 ( it originally sold for $200 way back in the mid 2000s lol) and despite what was on the box, it actually had the extra base, grill ECT in the box too. Great score

We are thinking that we would bring the camp trailer up near the house and use the fridge and stove. We also have a few alternative resources. The dutch oven is my favorite after the butane stove unless we do use the camp trailer.

Very glad you made this comment. I have an old three-quart crock pot from the '70s that only uses l00 watts of power. Imagine, cooking a whole meal for the price of running a 100 watt lamp for a day! The newer slow cookers use more power, but the smaller ones, as you say, would still qualify. There are still some low wattage appliances out there. Portable Induction cook tops, for example, can be adjusted for low wattage, 200 watts being the lowest I have seen. Surely there are more options for the industrious researcher.

The masonry stove that cooks a variety of things as it cools is similar in concept to one I saw in colonial Williamsburg. If you build it outside in a "summer kitchen" the excess heat wouldn't be a big problem and with a bit of planning could provide most of your cooking needs.

If you are a person who cooks with grains, a significant amount of fuel can be saved by soaking the grains before cooking. Between 12 to 24 hours should do it, according to the size and density of the material. Also, I have learned that breads don't have to be baked. They can be steamed in a pot of boiling water either over a fire or on a stove top. Also, they can be cooked in a dutch oven over a fire. Look for videos on the subject. There are a lot of them, but it has taken me time to find them.

Outdoor cooking - We have a small inexpensive hibachi grill. We have charcoal stored but I expect it could burn twigs as well. Indoor cooking - We have an electric hot plate which we think we can run off a generator. We should probably test that. I don't know how you made it through your 30 grid down challenge. 😀

You should never breathe in the fumes. However, it is designed to be burned indoors. Make certain you have adequate ventilation. I have a kitchen with a vaulted ceiling so there is plenty of air in there. If you live in a tiny apartment you may want to crack a window open a bit.
