So now you have electric heat and cooking. So what do you do if the power goes out?
We eat stuff we’ve stored or prepared in advance, things that can be eaten cold or heated to at least warm over sterno. We live in a suburban apartment, and while we have a wood-burning fireplace and its lovely ambience, it’s not much good for cooking (so far as we’ve practiced), or for heating, for that matter ;-)
We’re also working on developing our outdoor cooking skills. A lady named Marcella, another Freeper, is the ‘Goddess of Alternative Cooking Methods’. You might find her posts on the prepper threads. We’ve gotten a great many good ideas from her research and experimentation.
