Hey JR. I guess I was around 15 and we went through a hurricane and power was out for about a week. For warming up soup and such, I used a candle and a metal coffee can with holes punched around the bottom inch of the sides. Add a pot on top with the lite candle inside and it heated the soups fairly quickly. Since then I have multiple methods to cook inside, but never forgot that lesson. 👍
That’s really creative! Thank you for sharing 😊
Thanks for sharing Eric! Creativity gets the job done!
I have a medical condition. Every time a DIY prepper video pops up immediately press the thumbs up button without thinking about it.👍🏻 there is no known cure to mankind. Thanks for the video JR🇺🇸👍🏻
Thank you Ronald!
Jesus must return to cure us.
Hi jr, you and city prepping are the only two prepping shows I watch now. And neither of you bring politics in the show and I am so thankful for that.
We are preppers. Sure, situations are bound to happen because of government direction. In the end, that's why we do what we do. Prepare for/to survive or at least make our entourage more comfortable.
Thank you!
Same, the prepping community does not need to be polarized and divided. The what is the objective, the when and why merely subjective speculation and often motivated by politics and marketing
I think most preppers posess
a heavy dose of realism and critical thinking.
I also watch sensible pepper but yeah those 3 are my “go to” channels
As an ex-avid backpacker I can tell you that eating a hot meal at least once a day is a huge help in keeping a positive attitude. We used to eat instant oatmeal and coffee for breakfast and then bagels, PB and Gorp for lunch. For dinner we'd eat another hot meal, usually something like Mountain House.
In my college survival class we had to make an alcohol stove out of a beer can, and then just used a coat hanger to make a grate to set the pot on. We had to use it on our weekend survival trip in our brush hut.
Really cool college class! 🔥
Hi JR. I do alot of cooking. I am the proud owner of a Harvest Right vacuum freezer. 2 + yrs. It really doesn't get much rest.
My home is setup with propane. Not 1 but 4 extinguishers. I do have exterior cooking areas. I know about the air carrying the cooking smells. For all readers, keep getting into it, prepping that is. Stay vigilant and informed. JR does a super job.
Thank you Robert! Hopefully I'll get a freeze dryer eventually. They're game changers for food storage.
@@diypreppertvTwo years ago we looked into HarvesterRight freeze driers and found out that they offered a layaway program. It was a blessing as it's a bigger prepping item. I hope that this information helps anyone who can't afford the lump sum like we couldn't. Appreciate your content sir.
Thank you for the review/roast of that cooking lantern. The cold front had everyone running out to buy winter supplies, and it felt so good to know that this year, we're squared away in case of another crazy storm in Texas.
You're welcome Rina! Thanks for watching!
And it's coming rest assured..
That little ecoflow, kept my, refrigerator and freezer, running in a pinch.
New to your channel, just subscribed. Great content, concise delivery, and no politics. Thank you!
I have found that 5 wick candles do a good job heating food.
Having several hot water bottles on hand can also come in handy during grid down.
I have a fondue pot to heat up most of canned foods.
Thanks for sharing Colleen!
I plan to make some olive oil burners to use. Three cats and if they get knocked over, the fire just goes out. I also have alcohol burners too. I do plan to get a butane stove!
I’ll be cooking on the new wood burning stove my husband just finished installing just yesterday. Prepping dreams coming true one day at a time.
I envy you, I absolutely love wood stoves, but don;t gave one in this house. Walking in from the cold into a toasty warm home is an absolute delight. They are also good for drying clothes by as well as cooking, drying out wood before burning it and just enjoying watching the glow of the fire. I am considering buying a tiny portable woodstove for use in RVs, looking at the kind specifically made for use on boats. Pricey, but worth it. Second choice would be a camping woodstove to be used in a hot tents or outside.
Best, most informative , user friendly ideas on the web! Thanks so much for your great channel, especially for those of us who truly need help with being prepared in the most useful ways possible with alternatives. 5 star ⭐️
I appreciate your no-nonsense approach to prepping and making content. Always informative and concise.
Your vids are Always useful. You help alota people out here, thank you.
Thank you!
Thanks JR, butane camping stoves are my favourite. Probably the best for opsec as well.
Thanks again buddy.👍🏻
Thank you Mike!
Firehand lanterns are awesome. I have two from WWII and two modern ones, no leaks at all. I use Tiki oil in them.
Thank you JR for another great video. I have purchased several cooking methods from your list. Appreciate you so much. God bless you, my fellow Texan.
Thanks JR. You have a lot of great ideas. I've taken a lot of your past suggestions and I think I have my cooking prepped. I bought a duel fuel butane/propane single burner stove, I have single and double burner camping propane stoves, a rocket stove, propane grill and a dutch oven with lots of charcoal. I stocked up 6-20# propane tanks and a 2 dozen 1# propane tanks 4 cases of butane and I just bought another case of butane this past week.
Sounds like you're set! Cooking was an area that I was really unprepared in during the 2021 Texas Ice Storm. I've gone the complete opposite direction now. lol
Great info. I didn't realize butane was safer indoors thanks for that info.
Yay J.R. I just got my 3 candle uco, two new wool blankets and my base layers from venture, so of course it's 80 and we're sleeping with the windows and doors open 😂😂😊
It will start to cool down soon. We had frost here this morning. I got to use my base layer shirt on Sunday, and I really liked it!
@@diypreppertv Yahoo! It's nice to have it and not need it yet, better than the other way around
those butane stoves are awesome, the best place to get one, and the cans is a Korean Grocery store.
I have a lot of whole wheat. So I bought a bread maker that was low enough wattage to run off my solar 3000wh with leftover power, also powers the grinder. Can only eat my wheat in so many ways and bread is my favorite. I think this was 700 Watt. I agree you will regret not having multiple options as some can dry up quickly or be hard to get in some scenarios.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
It was a 450Watt Hamilton Beach, the smallest wattage I could find but made a good loaf of bread.@@Utah_Mike
Thanks Mike, now I will know what wattage to aim for when hunting for 2nd hand breadmakers!
I have several professional level chaffers because I cater events once in a while as a hobby. Two smaller round ones, and one large domed one. I also have three VESTA heater/stoves. I also have tea lights and use them for keeping butter melted, etc. Last May, here in the Rocky Mountains we had a very icy/snowy storm and lost power. Since I do have multiple cases of the canned heat for the first mentioned equipment I decided to pull one of my oven racks out, balanced it on 4 27 oz cans of tomato sauce. I was able to boil water and cook macaroni, and make up a box of Kraft macaroni and cheese for my grand kids. I put two cans of sterno under that pot. In another small pan I heated up a can of stewed tomatoes. We like them on our mac and cheese. For breakfast, I used my small omelette pan and made browned some brown and serve sausage links, then put in some hash browns to crisp in butter with a touch of olive oil. In my larger 15” skillet I scrambled eggs seasoned with herbs, and dropped in some fresh spinach leaves, then topped with shredded cheddar cheese. I happened to have a package of cinnamon rolls from the grocery store bakery so was able to heat those up in one of my round chaffers. We boiled water and brewed coffee in my French Press. Six of us, 2 seniors, two 40-something parents and two teenagers all enjoyed a wonderful breakfast, with orange juice. With a properly stocked pantry and fridge and freezer it pretty easy, and was kind of fun to make a delicious breakfast and lunch. I most always have crackers, cheese, deli turkey, and deli roast beef, raw veggies and fresh fruits when available. I am also getting ready to test out and practice baking in our domed butane grill…which is just outside of the sliding glass door….living in the Rocky Mountains at 8,600’ altitude we have long winters and we have 6 tanks. I am going to cancel soups and stews so that all we have to do is warm them up. I do have soups in a jar. I am also starting out with commercially canned soups so that I have open and heat soups and stews to get us through, if needed.
Thanks JR! Another home run
Spot on. If SHTF Cooking outside is like a dinner bell. I carry enough fuel for indoor cooking for 4 months buts that's it. Any other options for indoor cooking???
As always, very useful information. Thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Very helpful knowledge! Thank you!!
I have a racelette, it allows cooking with tea lights. It takes awhile, but it does work.
Great video JR thanks for your info.
You're welcome Paul! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Omggg I just went to Walmart and they had oil lamp for $6 on clearance. I’m sooo upset with myself, I should have bought all they had just as a back up.😣😣😣
Love my jet boils. Quick and easy to use
G'Day JR great video we got the ga stove inside, I have a large lidded BBQ that takes a few different fuels i.e wood or charcoal I even have a 2 burner gas BBQ the those little portable gas pods in my bug out gear. Failing those I have 3 large 44 gallon drums I could use to make a BBQ with stay safe mate.
Alcohol stove flames are nearly invisible. Add a bit of salt to the alcohol to produce a yellow flame, easier to see.
You're the only person who mentioned the danger of cooking outside in a situation where others could smell your food. Thank u for addressing this danger that so many people don't consider or address in their videos! Liked & subbed! (Getting ready for a hurricane). Thank u for making SAFETY the #1 concern when u suggest your methods because id rather just eat cold food than to ever put anyone or myself in danger of injury. Im a little nervous to use the alcohol method but I really liked ur other suggestions! Thank u for the great info God bless u!
I have heated a can of soup over the top of an oil lamp. 2 metal rods, on top of the glass chimney, set can on top🔥
Make sure to snug the base clips to help hold the chimney more secure..
YES, unstable,,, BE CAREFUL.
Yes, oil lamp fumes are not taster so, shake the can of soup to mix, first, then only make 2 or 3 cuts in lid of can..
Use folded newspaper, as hotpad, to remove hot can of soup.
Necessity is the mother of invention. Great tip. Thanks.
Ive been experimenting with an S4 LIFepo4 battery pack running my Infrared Quartz Radiant Heater on low which is equaled to about 400 watts. I'm curious to see how long it runs. Any kind of constant high wattage appliance draw, eats up batter capacity very fast its the nature of batteries unfortunately. Unless you have a battery(s) connected to solar panels. When the sun goes down you are back to the same problem unless you have a battery bank that can get you through until the morning which is the ideal system.
Thanks JR.
You're welcome Suzanne! Thanks for watching!
I bake potatoes wrapped in 2 layers of Tin Foil, in the coals of my Wood Stove.
10:47 Feuerhand lanterns are quality, manufactured in Germany.
Great info. Thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great ideas and important considerations!! Yah bless!!!
Thank you Erin!
thanks JR
You're welcome!
Thank you for sharing the options. very helpful!
You're welcome Margo! Thanks for watching!
😊thanks for sharing 😊
Buy a vermont lantern. superior quality
Well done.😊👍
Thank you!
I still have my Coleman 425's ( I think that's their model) raise the window and cook in the house
Butane cans are much more likely to leak in storage than propane.
Bought an inside butane cooker thanks 👍
Hot Dogs on Coat Hangers over the fire in the fireplace, with Baked Beans in an old pot sitting on top a couple of fire bricks beside the fire. Yum...
If you have kids some nice smores after eating supper.
Thankyou for the review and teaching .
Good vidio .
I bought 2 butane stoves, one for the house and one for the car, along with plenty of fuel.
It's a shame many of these items are unavailable on Amazon or cannot be shipped to Australia.
You toob it and build it yourself, savvy. Easy Peezy make a double cooker used by dog mushers here in AK lots of toob vids around!
@@akomni-vr5gtThank you for your reply. I can cook, but am not too handy in other directions. I will take your advice, with many thanks. 😊
Which fuel is safest to use indoors when using the alcohol stove? Love your content!!
I use everclear indoors, burns clean and doesn’t soot my pot up
@@NYGIANTSFAN1934 Thank you for responding. Can it cause carbon monoxide poisoning?
@@CatsAreNiceMeow any flame can always have a potential to produce some level of carbon monoxide, but grain alcohol is widely regarded as a safe indoor option…..albeit not the cheapest option
THKS
You're welcome David! Thanks for watching!
Propane is cheaper and works better in cold weather. Plus you can get the 20# BBQ style tanks.
For apartment will it be safe having fuel
I use a alcohol stove for a long time just to prove I could do it. If you put a Dollar store cookie sheet under your pot you never have to worry about sutt get any sut on your pots and pans. I cooked all the time to prove I could do it. The only thing I did different was I had two burners so if I was cooking something that took a long time, when the alcohol ran out I could change the complete burner out because you can't add alcohol to a hot burner. I made everything. Beans and Rice, Steak and Gravy, biscuits, cornbread, Roast, Cakes, candy. Anything that you can cook on a regular stove I can cook on a alcohol stove. Remember you can make your own alcohol also. If you're going to be using an alcohol stove at home a fondue set is perfect to use it with
Good to have that confirmed about the fondue set, I thought it would work, so bought a barely used one at a thrift store. 😊 $4 well spent!
The Deitz lantern doesn't work well at all for cooking.
things I learned. Explosions are bad LOL :)
Yeah, I tried to find some stock footage of some guy looking all charred, coughing smoke but I couldn’t. Lol
New wood burning stoves are built to burn up the smoke and emissions to leave very little smoke coming from the chimney.
How do you like the candle heater? Not as a cooker ,just for heat,what are their capabilities...
For solar cooking.. I have the Redodo 100ah lithium battery with a 12v lighter socket with 2 USB outlets... I was able to heat all my meals (weekend) without the panel, with my 12v Burton/Road pro lunch box cooker,so 4 meals,2 phone recharges, and the USB LED light bulb after dark.. plus I have the plug in 100w power inverter that does run the 1qt crock pot.. just enough for two hearty servings.. everything is super low wattage that I'm sure with the 200w panel hooked up to it, I could almost go indefinitely with light, hot food,and a charged phone... plus other gadgets that are still on the list.. 9" rechargeable TV, and a small world band radio
The butane cook stove we have carried a warning not to cook with it inside due to CO.
HEAT gives out a bad nauseating odor, Denatured Alcohol is what I use..
I've stocked up on 10 full 20Lb propane canisters and have a couple propane Coleman dual burner Stoves.
I use everclear
God bless.
Thank you!
Why not a small countertop microwave powered by your solar generator?
How high would you rate a 12 volt fridge on priorities for stationary survival and general use like grocery runs?
I use a bodega dual zone 12 volt fridge/freezer combo……I purchased an external battery for it which was amazing when I lost power for a week this past summer
Propane is the only way. Fuel can be stored indefinitely. You can self refill 1 gal cans. When propane runs out switch to alcohol. Vapor burners or pressure burners work great be cautious of fumes. And yes you can distill your own alcohol. From here we go back to sticks.
Use freeze dried foods, just add hot water👍
Which is the safest? They all scare me because of explosions
thumbs up
HOW MUCH IS A KILOWATT???
1,000 watts
👍
Buy a few magnifying 🔎 glasses, NOW!!!
A clear bag like Ziploc filled water can be used to start a fire like a magnifying glass.
