RV and Boat supply places have stoves that can run on propane or nat-gas. Many options and can be found in swap meets or craigslist.
Out doors they are safer but, indoors nat-gas is lighter than air and less likely to collect into highly flammable pools.
Thank you, both. I may run into a couple of local stores and see if I can pick up something like that. Might still be better off with a used apartment stove for the amount of mouths I need to feed.
I signed up for a 7 day emergency prep challenge this month. Wouldn’t you know, it started today and I’m supposed to pretend we’ve had an ice storm and there is no electricity. Freezer food is still good but the fridge is off limits. We’d just have to eat peanut butter and honey sandwiches and cold cereal all week. I’m glad I’m doing this challenge because it is truly helping me focus on the more immediate needs and less on the whole zombie apocalypse type prepping. By starting with the more probable situation, I’ll get more and more ready for the unexpected, too.
Time to get the chimneys swept (new house) to make sure everything is working well. I was ready for the challenge of keeping the house lit up and keeping everyone warm. Hooray! But the food. Really need to get that problem solved soon!
Thank you all for the suggestions! My goal is to have this settled by the end of next week, if not sooner!
