A volcano stove is a collapsible stove that is also very versatile. It can be heated with propane, charcoal, or wood. Dutch ovens are big, heavy cooking pots made from cast iron. You set them right on top of the fire and/or cover them up with coals. These are especially great for making stews.One extra smart reader, Amy V., noted that in an emergency, when everyone else is scrambling to buy propane, butane, gasoline, and other fuels, there could be piles of tea lights just sitting around, waiting for a HERC owner to come along!

Twenty tea lights are plenty hot for bringing up the baking temperature inside the HERC but not so hot as to raise the temperature in your kitchen. An earth oven is one of the oldest survival cooking techniques that we know about. It is built from basic material under your feet and is constructed like a giant mud pie. Here is a great tutorial on how to build your own earth oven. Using a double boiler, melt wax. You can use old crayons or candles for the wax. I’ve also heard of people using butter instead of wax. Never try to melt wax over a direct flame because it easily catches fire.What sets apart the HERC, aside from those tea lights, is the fact that it can be used indoors without emitting harmful fumes or requiring any ventilation with a fuel source that is budget friendly, to say the least. The HERC Tea Light Oven in my kitchen Now, I’m slightly on the short side, and the only difficulty I ran into with the HERC was placing food down into the oven and then taking it out when it was finished. Sitting on my counter top, the oven, at 12″ high was too high for me to easily place food down into it. I needed either a step stool or the help of my husband or (taller) daughter to take care of this. When we get around to moving it, I’ll likely place it on either a lower counter or on a table. With a wood stove, you can both heat your home and cook during power outages. The obvious downside is that you’ll need to do some serious planning if you want a wood stove. Propane and Grills.One thing most folks has is propane grill or camp stove. But not everyone realizes just how much and how many different things you can cook or do with them.You can use your outdoor grill for canning (hello no more hot kitchen in the summer), cooking meats, corn on the cob, and even baking. This is our favorite propane stove for both canning uses and cooking seafood. My husband loves crab but I hate the way it makes the house smell, so we only do our crab and seafood boils on this outdoors.

During our 30-day grid-down cooking challenge, we frequently used the HERC candle oven in the kitchen with a carbon monoxide detector that had a digital readout nearby. The carbon monoxide detector never registered any level of carbon monoxide while cooking with candles. However, some portable power stations are large enough for cooking. If you can afford it and some solar panels, these are great all-around solutions for power outage preparedness.The good news is that wood stoves produce a pleasant heat, and you will get in shape from chopping up all that wood. Please don’t use a portable wood stove indoors without proper venting, a door that seals shut, and a carbon monoxide detector! However, if it wasn’t for our gas grill, I’m not sure what we would’ve done. We had no power, we couldn’t even make it off of our road though we were cutting wood with a vengeance, and I had 6 people in my home looking to me for food.
