Buy a REAL LANTERN and lamp oil. You will get light and heat.
Lehman’s has a lantern designed with a cooker on top.

Several years ago we lost electricity during a real bad ice storm.

For several days all we had to see by was lanterns and kerosene lamps. They do produce a fair amount of heat. Keep a window slightly cracked as they do produce a smell.

Sounds like tha same ice storm we had several years ago in New England. We closed off all the rooms that we didn’t need and my hubbie nailed an old blanket to cover the archway to the living room. We also would turn on a gas stove that we have in a basement kitchen, leaving it on for a couple of hours then we would shut it off. Also put a large pot of water on the stove top and simmered it for a couple of hours. It kept the house surprising comfortable.

I like to keep a good supply of canned foods since that experience.

Thanks, I’ll look into it.

The fake lanterns are safer, though, when you have young grandchildren visiting.
