“My solution will run the furnace in my house for days, indefinitely if the gas utility stays up.”
Thanks Lurker, you do need electrical power to run a furnace also...so that’s a problem in the Sandy scenario.
I have those lanterns, and yes, they definitely give out a lot of heat. As long as fumes have a place to go they can help a lot there, especially if it’s very cold.
You might want to look at a few of these. They are really pricey but they work and they are beautiful.
