Your suggestions regarding heat are really valuable, depending on where you live, but aren’t the sort of thing that can be done in an hour. For half the year up here (Ontario, and not close to any body of water that makes the climate more favourable), heat is definitely more important than light or news, probably more important than food, and if you have heat, you can always melt snow.

In Oregon, very close to the Pacific, things were very different. Having lived up here, I now could get by where I grew up without any heat if push came to shove. Once you have tangled with -40, other things look different.

Due to EPA regulations, a LOT of the woodburning stoves on the market will have to be withdrawn from public sale in 2016.

You've still got about a month left if you want/need one. Even if you don't need it yet, get it now, and worrying about installing it when the power goes out and the propane runs low.

A small one goes for just a bit over a hundred bucks at my local farm supply store. They're closing them out, for obvious reasons.
