Our fireplace got us through when the power went out 4 or 5 years ago (wood burning). Also, we can always pull our camper out and live in there till the power goes back on, LOL!

You're right about the generators though, unless you have access to unlimited fuel, not much help they are. That's why we LOVE wood! I've even wanted to get a wood burning stove to pu in the shed for cooking (you never know!). Wink

Just enough to get you through until the power comes back on. That involves only running it when you need it and then shutting it off to conserve.

I've got nothing against wood (we burn wood in our fireplace), but it won't keep my freezer or my CPAP running.

Reply #29 - Feb 7^th, 2010 at 1:04pm Fuel is the reason there is 20 gallons in cans next to the generator plus when you fill up 3 cars, well......ya have plenty of gas. At least enough for a week......the longest we've been without power.

Freezer is moot this time of year up here (stick the stuff out in the snow), but as for the cpap, I totally understand...

Hey Cat, sorry for the craziness! You can blame this guy...

Brew has it right. We used a generator at the cottage years ago. It's not easy to ration its use but you have to. Gotta have an oil lamp or two around too.
