Hey all,
I've been doing something that I should have done in-depth a long time ago. I'm going throughout my day, doing those day-to-day things that don't even give a second thought and thinking about how I would do them without power. It's been enlightening.
One shocking (and utterly embarrassing thing) is I apparently never considered how I would make coffee during a prolonged power outage!
So, to put everything in context, I'm focusing on August and September (peak hurricane season). Let's also assume I have access to my Weber Kettle with charcoal so if I need to actually truly grill/cook something, I can.
I'm primarily interested in heating coffee and my emergency stable, Chef Boyardee Ravioli (what?).
So, there's alcohol stoves, butane stoves, propane stoves, and sterno stoves. Sterno is what my family used growing up. I remember distinctly having those cans going during Alicia in '83. But it seems like those are more for keeping food hot that is already hot?
Portability is also important. I'd like to take this stove with me if we evacuate. With that I'd like to minimize "spilling of the fuel" possibility (that would really only be a thing with the alcohol stoves)?
Any direction is appreciated!
