That was my Plan B when the power goes out - would be OK for a few days, but in a SHTF situation I may need heat without petroleum for six months.
I heat with oil and supplement with wood (finished basement), but know I can keep the entire house above 55 if the power goes out (and stays out).
“I can keep the entire house above 55 if the power goes out (and stays out).”
We’ve thought about the same SHTF scenario and are thinking seriously about a small wood cook-stove for the kitchen, just in case.
You make a good point, in that, a long-term power outage would quickly render a generator into nothing more than a boat anchor.
Let’s all hope that never happens.
