What would be a good inexpensive option for warming up food should we be without power for long?

Sterno stoves can be obtained as camping supply places. An alternative is to construct what is known as a volcano stove, a small, wood fired 'stove' that can be built from a metal coffee can (#10) and a couple soup cans. DIY guides to make one are all over the internet.

My husband made one of those. I forgot about that. I think it made the move. He hasn’t organized his building yet because he’s working all the time! He could set it up for me but I’m not sure if I would know what to do with it. I think my family needs to practice some alternative cooking on the weekends until I get used to not having all the modern conveniences.
