We're planning on putting in a woodstove this fall and since we now live in the country, hubby is looking into getting a generator.

If you're in a rural setting and have other LP available, consider a generator that's set up to run on propane. Their motors are common to the gasoline-fueled versions, but require far less frequent oil changes and service, LP runs a LOT cleaner. And LP is useful for any number of other functions, from backup radiant heaters to camp grills, cookstoves and lanterns. The only drawback, which may or may not be a factor, is the lack of commonality with your vehicle fuels and/or the local availability of a dependable supply.

I forgot about the cigs and beer - but I can't drink warm beer - so I would have to do a lot of fast drinking!!!!!!

Get yourself a couple of carbon dioxide fire extinguishers. They'll chill down a couple of slabs of beer in around a minute and a half. Or if you're near an airfield, have a friendly pilot building hours or slowtiming an engine run 'em up to around 15,000, 20,000 feet for you.

Hubby is looking at an LP generator because supply for that is very reliable around here.

And I'll remember the fire extinguisher trick for the beer!!! I just looked and those are the types of extinguishers we have!!!!
