ROK: That's pretty cold, and in that case, we'd eat shelf-stable, no cook foods we keep on hand for emergencies. Propane will flow at those temperatures, but it would be an uphill battle to generate enough heat to do any actual cooking.It's good to think through your options if you are faced with an extended period without power, water, and/or heat. Every household has different needs. Every few years, my husband and I review our emergency plan, so we both know what to do, using the resources available to us.As for the stove, I've never not had an all-electric kitchen, so this whole argument over gas stoves is silly to me. If a power interruption hits, I have no other option than to figure out a workaround for non-functional kitchen appliances.Right now, that means a propane tank, a camping stove, and shelf-stable foods that need only light cooking to be edible. And if I can't cook at all, I think I can manage to survive for a few days on PB&J sandwiches.
