“sterno stove”

I have several Sterno stoves, can use these in the house or outside. I used them every time a hurricane took out power. I bought “Daily Chef Safe Heat” cans at Sams instead of Sterno canned heat as it is cheaper.

I calculated how long a “Daily Chef Safe Heat” can would burn, and how long I would need it to burn for a meal. Then I bought enough cans to last - a year.

I don’t have that many cans for sure. However- I use that little stove more often than any other to make coffee and heat soup when the electricity goes out. Just set it right down in the middle of the stove - they are great.

My long term is the rocket stove, since we have plenty of twigs, branches, and trees around. I also have a solar oven which I haven’t tried out yet. I’ve had it for more than a year - it’s the one that you found for me a while back.

If push comes to shove, I can take the rocket stove out to the green house and open the door and vent as well as a fan to avoid noxious buildup.

I have used the rocket stove and it only takes a handful of stuff that dropped from trees to cook the whole dinner and a coffee. Very hot and very fast.

Did you see the pics of the greenhouse on this thread? I really enjoyed the sunny days last winter-felt like summer in the greenhouse. LOL

Hope you are feeling better. Drop by more often - we’ve missed you, and homesteading/prepper subjects are just as welcome as garden stuff.
