I'm glad you started off your video with the warning of carbon monoxide poisoning and the importance of having a carbon monoxide detector. It's not just from cooking but, also people trying to stay warm in their vehicles.
Blessed to live in an old house that has a huge flattop woodstove in the kitchen. Nothing fancy but wOw what a workhorse! Have baked bread, cakes, biscuits, pies. Cooked roasts and stews, name it. I couldn't live without it. It's up there with our Berkey water system!
Oh my goodness I was raised by my father. We had a wood stove for the first 20 years of my life and that's all I ever cooked on. I went on vacation to Hawaii and when I came back home he had remodeled the entire kitchen. He was so proud of himself and thought I would love the new electric range that he had installed. I was so disappointed that my stove was gone in my kitchen had been transformed into a new modern marvel. Here it is almost 50 years later and I still miss my wood stove. 🤔🤗
@@DianeSturlinXX Your Dad gets a Huge E for Effort! Maybe you could explain your concerns and convince him to swap out the electric stove for a gas one in the near future. At least then you could use a lighter or a match to ignite the stove and still cook indoors like the video explained. Good luck. Stay safe. Bon Appetite😋!
I live in the Amish part of Ohio, so just some info for anyone who might be interested...My Amish neighbors can't have electric in their homes (and don't), but, they CAN have gas (or propane)...they make gas stoves that work like a traditional stove, but, use batteries for the electric start...btw...they also make refrigerators and even freezers that run on gas...(I know, seems odd, but, they work good)...
You can buy propane refrigerators (expensive) and stoves (usually, a new gas stove comes with an adaptor, so it can be changed from natural gas to propane during the hookup, if needed) at any big box store. I live rural, have a 500-gallon propane tank and my stove runs on propane, as does my furnace. The Amish don't make them, they buy them, same as us, but they usually connect the stoves to 50-or-100-pound propane tanks. The orthodox Amish don't use electricity and usually will start the stove with a match. They don't use a propane furnace, as they aren't able to run the blower. I live in northern MI, people here take a refrigerator out of an old RV (most of those can run on either electric or propane, they have a switch on them to choose) and keep it as a backup. They used to be cheap to buy, when someone was parting out an old RV, but not anymore.
When the electricity was turned off at my house a few years ago, I cooked with my propane Coleman two-burner system. The key is to know what you are doing, take your time to do things right, and keep it clean. I love my Coleman propane burner.
Had electric stove when we moved in, immediately got rid of it and installed the gas one. Invested in fixing old fireplace, contractor suggested gas fireplace, but I decided that we need wood burning one. Gives me two different sources of heat when power goes out. Paraffin camping stove is the third one. Always have several options when it comes to power outages.
@@jamesattanah9699 You must have some other method because salt makes a fire become stronger. I assume you have an exhaust that leads outside of the house? Because that's the best way of getting rid of the fumes.
Great job. I survived thru the texas winter storm as well. I wasnt prepared for it all. I've become a changed man for sure. Thanks for the video, keeping them coming.
My folks were down in Texas and I was in Nebraska during the Texas cold 🥶 snap. It was 28 degrees below zero here. Not wind chill, that was the air temperature.
I am in Tulsa, OK and was in my apartment having to run the oven for a week (off and on and never while asleep) and praying for you all in TX. That was horrible watching what happened to you all. I mean we get that every few years, but you all never do so we're not prepared. I am prepping now so I can weather the storm better this year. I am even going to somewhat insulate my patio to keep it just a bit warmer and bearable in here. I'm in an apartment so not a lot I need to cover, but there are things that will make it a lot more manageable than it was last year and keep my heating bill down all winter too. Oh, I just realized that I got the idea from someone on the news in Tx during all this. They used those insulatng panels with the silver coating in their living room to consolidate & confine the heat to a smaller area that they all stayed in. I realized I could literally make my closed in patio into an insulated greenhouse type area with those panels inside the fencing and thick clear plastic sheeting stapled out over the open air part to stop allow the light in but not so much wind and cold. And it is right outside my sliding glass doors so that will stop the draft or at least most of it.
So glad you made it through the storm! We live in NW Arkansas, and I was very glad I prepared for the storm. Our new water lines were not yet buried in the ground and there was no skirting on the trailer house yet, either, so the cold wind was freezing up our water before the storm actually hit. My husband quickly put up temporary skirting as a wind barrier and we covered the water lines the best we could. We managed to keep water running in one bathroom, and I did fill some water jugs. We had a wood stove for heat so I made sure there was plenty of firewood in and near the house. Also, I had a couple oil lamps handy in case we lost power. I have a gas stove, but I knew I could cook on the wood stove if I needed to, or even using denatured alcohol as a cooking fuel. Fortunately, we never did lose power, but we were prepared for almost anything. I was ready to hunker down by the fire and ride out the long cold spell (it was -10° F one night, and below freezing temps continually for a week and a half straight--in Arkansas!)...but the children just wanted to stay outside and play in the snow drifts. Hahaha! Not native southerners!
Restaurant supply stores usually sell to the public, not just wholesale to businesses, and carry a lot of options for indoor cooking and even heating/cooling. Event rental places might also be able to help you with options if you say you are thinking about having a party or whatever, not for you to rent but to give you ideas of what is available out there. Pick their brains for free. Incidentally, shopping your local restaurant supply place in person will have you finding a ton of useful prep items, often better quality for the price than online shopping. I got a 10 tray solid stainless steel food dehydrator/jerky maker from my local place for about $280. It has all the features you want and is comparable to an Excaliber, for a MUCH smaller price! Seriously a great deal.
Great info 👍🏽 i’ve always depended on my propane grill during power outages. I always keep stuff like can tuna and can chicken which doesn’t need cooking in case of a short term emergency.
Bugging in. Instead of bugging out. Is my top priority. Finding a group of survivalist to share the same problems in my area is a challenge. Thank you JR , for your series.
New sub & enjoyed your presentation. It's nice to come across a channel that still educates & informs on matters of survival rather than getting into politics & religion. Keep up the good work!
I know most people know this but I was surprised how many young people did not know you can light a gas stove with a match or lighter. The oven will not work but the stove will. They also did not know the importance of cracking a window when using the stove. Be sure your kids (even the adult ones) are in the know.
Thanks for showing that Chef stove. It’s on my list. I have the butane canisters for a larger camping stove but I like the idea of having something that approximates my stove. I have a folding version of that little stove you showed. The sterno rests nicely on the tray where the twigs would go if I’m cooking over a small fire. It also encases my other camping stove. I have to use that version outside but it’s way nicer to use putting the pot on the grate instead of balancing on that three prong stove. A cooking channel I watch does everything on something similar to that Chef One stove and he cooks delicious pasta dishes so it’s really functional. As long as you have the gas. Thanks for the information.
For easy cleaning a pot after being on the fire and full of soot all you need is to put liquid dish soap to the bottom of the pot before you start cooking. When you are ready to wash the pot, just rinse it. The soot will go away and the pot will be shining again. No scrubbing or nothing of that sort.
I wasn't going to watch all of this, but, the fellow is some good! Luck that I have a wood stove, and other little stoves some of which were demonstrated. We had an ice storm for a week, with no electricity. Circumstances wised me up fast~
FYI Everclear and the high octane Vodkas work well in the Trangia and Pepsi stoves. Lol those are what I cooked with during the big freeze you mentioned. Used propane and a Kerosene heater to keep the place relatively warm. Thing about alcohol is you can extinguish an alcohol fire with water in a pinch. Been using a Pepsi stove before I heard about the Trangia 6 years or more ago. Make em for gifts.
Lots of great information here. I use both the butane stove and Sterno for camping. I have also cooked on a wood burning fireplace. But I learned that gas fireplaces are sealed. They have a pipe that draws air from the outside and they also vent to the outside. They are not designed to have any opening or air exchange with the indoor area. So, no cooking on a gas fireplace. And I suspect that a gas fireplace has an electronic ignition, so I'm not even sure it would be able to keep you warm in a power outage. Sad!
One of the reasons I have a wood stove, not only for heating and reducing my electric bill but also a very effective way to cook. If you have an electric crockpot just remove the ceramic insert and put it on the stove and your good to go. If the surface of the stove is to hot place a trivet under the crockpot to regulate the temperature.
@@diypreppertv I have a wood stove in my shop. There are small wood burning stoves (can cook on them) for tents and RV's. If you have a suitable shed, tent, porch, etc. you may want to consider a wood option. If you can't use one of those, think about a rocket stove. Some can be DIY. I chose a SilverFire Survivor rocket stove because in addition to cooking on it I can also waterbath and pressure can foods.
@@oldtimerlee8820 I just supplies to learn to pickle eggs. I believe they stay good for a year in the fridge, but must be done properly. I hope I succeed.
@@cuteone1702 wow never heard of pickled eggs. @DIY Prepper You might want to remind people of Manual can openers. Since breaking my R Shoulder I feel my fingers don't work as well. I need a easy open can opener
I use a "Green, 2 burner gas camping stove " hooked up to a 5 gallon propane tank in my apartment for over a year. Works great, no problem, great alternative 👍.
Using the large propane tanks indoors goes against fire codes in most places and is most likely prohibited in your lease agreement too. Either of which could leave you in trouble if you do create a problem. Propane is heavier than air so incase of a leak it will pool in low lying puddles waiting for an ignition source, rather than rapidly disapating into the air as natural gas does. Be aware of your local laws and fire codes before bringing open flames into your home! Stay safe out there.
Great info. I made an alcohol stove with a 5 inch long piece of copper tube with capped ends and 2 rows of 5 pin holes on the top. Make a metal holder, fill 1/3 full with a syringe. Nice blue flame.
When we sold our big house and moved to a small house with a propane stove and heater. We also built an outdoor kitchen with a solar oven, grill, pizza oven. Our plan for minimizing propane usage is to use a rocket stove and haybox. Also, a crockpot with a solar panel is also an option for us.
@@jenniferisner5262 - they were popular during wwii. It is an insulated box that traps heat inside. I have a large Styrofoam cooler. I have glued mylar blankets to the interior. I begin my cooking inside, usinga lidded pot that retains heat well. Like a cast iron. When the pot is hot, I pop it into the hat box and surround it with sand bags. On the top too. Then you just close the lid and come back in 4 to 6 hours. Food is cooked using very little energy.
In old time days they would start stew or beans in a cast iron pot then take it out side , surround it with hay bales over the top to (not touching the pot) then all would go to the field to work . In the eve when they came home supper was cooked. A retro crock pot lol.
@@davefarley4318 - I understand completely. We use it for hot water for weekend coffee and for bringing things up to a boil quickly. Too easy to burn stuff. However, we just get the cast iron and it's contents hot then pop it into the haybox. I don't think any one off grid cooking method can replace a kitchen stove.
I have a wood burning stove. Got my grill. Both good. One for winter. One for summer. But their is one more that everyone should consider. A 1000 watt solar system. With a cheap low watt microwave. It allows for fast way to boil water. No noise good in summer when it's already hot out.
@@his4evr2c You can put those small systems out even in the cold. It just has to have day light. Just don't do it while it's snowing/raining. I do have a gas/propane generator if all else fails.
Our “primary” heat is a wood stove (we are upgrading to a high-efficiency hybrid next month) and it greatly outperforms the heat-pumps below 20F. And is awesome for cooking on when the power goes out.
As I'm the only one in this house of 6 (includes me) who likes to have a camp fire out on the lawn and cook over a fire, I been thinking of setting up some sort of small shelter or roof set up over the fire pit area to cook out there when it rains or snows. At the moment not so easy. I don't get alot of money and don't have anyone to help in that area. It's my parents' place, and not allowed to just go randomly cutting up all the trees I want in the forest on the property. Plus not easy to get out there much at this time due to health circumstances. My health problem does go through these fluctuations... good for a while, then bad for a while. The outdoors conditions with ALOT of mosquitoes doesn't help either. At the end of summer things should be pretty good again with cooler temperature, lower humidity, lack of mosquitoes, etc.
Great Video. New Subscriber so, thanks for the channel! Glad to see UA-cam promoted you to me. I like your "simple" style of thoroughly explaining things.
tuna can stove .empty a small tuna can then take corrugated cardboard and cut into thin strips the same width as the can from top to bottom. roll up the cardboard as tight as you can so that it fits snugly in the can fill with melted candle wax and you have a cheap anytime camp stove.
We learned this at camp. They called it a bunson burner. I had mine a long time. Used a metal coffee can upside down with a door cut in it to put the bunson burner in. I cooked toast on it. Eggs on it. Grilled cheese sandwiches. It was great fun too! Thanks for the memories!!
I love this video. How to cook safely small amounts of food and water is something I've worried about. I wouldn't want to advertise what I've got stored. And the wood stove? When I was a newborn a monthold, our town had a major power outage during an ice storm. My parents got me to friends who had a wood stove and I stayed in their kitchen for the warmth. I wish I knew how to cook on a wood stove, like my great grandmother had.
With my Coghlans folding stove from Dollarama for gel fuel can I had a tea candle in it instead of can of gel fuel and my coffee in a metal camp cup and the one tea candle did keep my coffee at a good heat level to take my time drinking it up. It was a s good as my electric mug _hot plate._
I bought a very nice Coleman single-burner stove last year for $30 and have ample canisters of propane in storage. I also made oil burners and have 5 gals of Fire Fly oil that is smokeless and odorless. I have on my "to get" list extinguishers and monoxide monitor so I guess I'm good to go!!! Prepping, although expensive, is fun and comes with peace of mind knowing I'll be ready for whatever comes. No fear. No panic. Just do it people so you won't be sorry. I enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing.
When they cut the power for 5 days a few years old in the winter, I was renting a house that had a wood burning stove since the house was built in 1958. I set up a micro climent, close enough to keep me warm at night because of the snow on the ground. Like a two person tent and was also able to cook on top of it. Only problem was neighbors who didn't have one saw the smoke comming from the chimney,so I did most of my cooking after dark when most were in their homes trying to stay warm. I have a gas stove where I live now but also have a two burners propane camp stove that can be used indoors by a back window that's not visible from the outside to not draw attention.
Both my Ma and I would love to have one of them household wood stove/oven put in the kitchen, but my Pa doesn't want it in here. Same with fireplace or wood stove. If I could have my own place and the money to get what I want, I'd be living in a log cabin (one big room, plus the loo) and would have a wood stove and addition of an oven box for it or the oven/stove that's heated by wood burning in the bottom.
Always have a couple of hurricane lamps around but never thought about putting them in the stove to heat stuff. Great idea. When I bought my current house the first thing I did was get rid of the electric furnace and oven. Installed room wall mount propane heaters and a propane stove. Power out, still warm and can cook stuff
I wonder if using your oven as a safe space for cooking with a portable fuel stove would be a better option than just sitting it out on a table or counter...if a fire started it would already be semi contained and you could close the door after extinguishing until everything is cooled off
I've been cooking on a 1 burner camping stove for 20years now. Im well prepared for a power cut. I've also got bottled water tinned dried and packet food and lots of candles.🙋🏼♀️👍
Very good summary. I would note that for candles and old the hottest and cleanest part of the flame is about 3/8ths to 1/2 inch above the visible flame.
I have a stove as a back up. I use my solar generator with a regular 800 watt electric skillet and it only uses 5-7% of my battery per single meal👍. Ok I must share that my stove is a multi-fuel Coleman that burns Gasoline (yes and surprisingly safe) and liquid fuel. It took a few times to use gasoline without fearing it would explode, but it has no issues and it’s a Coleman. It burns very efficiently and clean. Using gasoline would be my second choice if I ran out of Cooking fuel. I also have a Kerosene wicked stove. White Kerosene also works well for cooking✔️. Great video topic DIY Prepper thanks
@@baneverything5580 nice that the smaller units can also do it👍. The heating lunch boxes work great too, just slower but still low power. The egg cookers from Walmart cook 8? Eggs with 1/3 inch of water at the bottom, using steam to cook. Heating that little amount of water uses very little power👍. They cast about $26? Well worth it.
@@baneverything5580 glad we can share info. My solar unit is a 100 watt hr unit, so I believe we are getting the same conclusions. I believe in practical application over beach testing. I like to see how things function in real life. For real life my solar gen can do all my cooking daily and only uses a very small percentage of my battery, leaving power for lights, phone, laptop,coffee, tea etc.
At home I like to use a propane ( single burner ) camping stove with an extended cable from the canister to the burner. My Coleman double burner is also put to work for Hurricanes. The double burners are nice for a normal meal. For a hot beverage it's one of my alcohol stoves , easy , simple and safe to use. No worries about ventilation , back porch or inside with the windows open when a Hurricane takes the power out.
I have been prepping since September last year, subscribed to several communities of preppers, have learned so much thanks to all of you! Survival techniques, gardening, putting together a pantry, how to make things from recycling materials, how to survive without electricity and technology, so many things and I'm so grateful for all the knowledge u share, believe me when I say that all of u have surely contributed to one day been my family's survival. I'm grateful for having found all the preppers out there, may God bless you all! 🙏🤟🥰😉
Very comprehensive overview and glad you also focused on fire safety. I live in a small apartment so I’m concerned with the safety issues of an open flame. I’ve also been researching the fuels that are safest to store since I don’t have a garage or shed. Im comfortable stocking up on sterno type canisters. Do you know if there are any issues w storing quantities of denatured alcohol?
Thanks for watching! Everything that I have read seems to indicate that it is safe to store indoors. I keep mine in the can that it came in far away from any potential heat sources.
A gas fireplace uses the exact same source of fuel as a gas stovetop. Natural gas is almost pure methane (trace amounts of mercaptan make it smell for safety) and it introduces no toxins during the cooking process. Some gas fireplaces are designed to burn so clean they are vent free so any smoke or odors from cooking with be retained in your house.
Agree! I have a propane fueled stove in my kitchen. It can be converted to natural gas by changing the orifices. Charring peppers, for example, is done direcly over the flames. There is a camping bread toaster that sits over the flames, as well. If either of these fuels were harmful to foods, their use in cooking appliances would be banned, IMO.
Be aware of the risk that an open flame under a kitchen fan can ignite the grease in the fan. If that happens you have much, much bigger problems than getting a warm meal...
And this is different from a normal gas range used by millions.... How? Well the gas range has four open flames on top and open flames in the broiler and roof of the oven.
We have a full kitchen set up out doors with a grill, bbq pit, smoker and flat grill. We never go without cooked food. BTW, we live in California, no snow and mild temps.
I have used multi-fuel portable single burner stoves off and on for years. They are very common in many parts of the world. The"hair spray" type butane canisters are much handier than using the (usually green) propane bottles. However in extra cold settings the butane loses effectiveness, so having both fuels on hand is a good idea if you worry about very cold weather. Although many of these stoves say outdoors only, but I use them indoors in a well-ventilated room (usually with a window cracked open). Keep extra butane canisters on hand because you can run out of fuel in the middle of cooking something.
Now, finally someone speaking the Ultimate Truth!... Thank you P.C. for recognizing & acknowledging a Basic Fact! 🙏🙄😉 BTW the Holy Spirit's name is: Ruach Ha Kodesh (The Breath of God-- from ancient Hebrew)
I'm going to tell you something these are not the last days. Wanna know why I believe that. Well let me share my opinion in this. Well their are people who need to hear the word and the seed must take root and give birth snatching the soul back from the enemy. Secondly their are people in the same household some believer so e none believers some who have no faith and fallen away from the faith that God has plans to restore with 🔥 and most importantly God says his word will go on forever not meaning that the world will come to an end because it will one day but God is not finished yet in the first place. Look around look at the goodness of God still at work just because hard times come and go does not mean God has left us without. If you believe that he has left us in hards times then what is it working in you having you get up everyday going to work if you work, taking care of your children, helping another and so forth you? Well I believe we all woke up today this very day to give you proof that God is calling us no matter what to be strong in him and encourage each other and to help one another with love because that is the heart of our father in the first place. God bless you and keep you safe your family, your friends and your neighbor even if they get on your nerves may they still be blessed and taking care of in the mighty name Of Christ Jesus. ❤️🔥🙏🕊️ Peace, love and God's promises which never fails be with you always. 🕊️🙏🔥
@@ladybug6055 Don't concern yourself with other people,you are only responsible for you and as far as you being such a great rule follower just turn that personality flaw into being an example to others.Idealism is another flaw which I turned into not what others "Should do" but what I "can do" about making myself with God's help into what He says that I am made in His image to Be! 🙄🤗 You are not a teller of the future anymore than your cat. You aren't a prophet and a fortune teller. You take care of your own back yard and keep to your chores and we will all be happy,we already know what to do without help from others!
I have a cheap one of them little metal box-like things you put the gel fuel can in the bottom. I got it from a dollar store and it folds up flat. With the gel fuel can it takes quite a bit of time to _cook_ a can of _Cambells Chunky_ Chowder in my small camping pot. Much quicker to cook on that Butane camp stove. But if you are patient and can wait, the gel fuel method will eventually actually cook it.
@Paco When I tried out the gel fuel can, I didn't really like it. I prefer butane stove for indoor/outdoor cooking. And a trip in the woods or just in the yard, I do like to use the camp fire or maybe a twig stove. when our Spring/Summer fire bans are on in the morning or days not good for fires, I'd just use my isobutane mini stove (little thing you screw onto butane can).
@Paco Well, the butane isn't too expensive for me, plus I had an issue with the fume/smell from the gel burning. I haven't had an issue using my butane stove indoor. And then there's propane, which I definitely have an issue breathing. I do have heightened sense of smell, hearing, taste and touch. Seems the only sense that's not so good is my sight. Anyway, outdoors, I really prefer wood fire (camp fire, twig stove).
I have two fondue pots, one a cheese fondue, the other a regular metal one. I use it with fondue fuel to heat canned food during power outages. It works if you don't have anything else.
Unstable electricity is what prompted me to get a standard size propane cookstove / oven in my kitchen for regular use. I could see no use for an electric stove. I wanted a simple propane fueled stove with no bells or whistles - just an honest work horse. It cost all of $150 brand new about 5 years ago. We have had several power outrages in the mountains where I live, but we never went without a hot meal, hot water for baths or heat because my trusty propane stove does it all. If you have an electric stove and own your own home, see about switching out to a simple propane stove. The peace of mind is worth it, and so are the benefits.
I do not personally have experience cooking over multiple tealights (7 of them seem to be popular), but I do hear others warn of a potential fire if they are close enough to ignite each other's melted wax. Perhaps the way to overcome that would be to space the tealights further apart and use a pot with a larger circumference. Hopefully, we will hear from those of you with more experience than I have.
Thanks for watching Nick. Since cooking rice mainly involves boiling water, either the butane or alcohol stoves will work fine. I was shocked how well the Solo Stove worked. It brought the water to an aggressive boil very quickly.
I'm glad you started off your video with the warning of carbon monoxide poisoning and the importance of having a carbon monoxide detector. It's not just from cooking but, also people trying to stay warm in their vehicles.

Excellent video on a single topic. Lots of food for thought. Safety Tip: Never use any type of charcoal stove indoors it will kill you.
Yeah, it’s crazy what some people try during blackouts. I even heard of people building fires on their living room floor during the ice storm.
Tried it, didn't die. But I learned that it was a bad idea.
A small alcohol(denatured alcohol or save heat cans are ok indoors but always be careful.
In Africa, we sprinkle cooking salt on the charcoal to remove the dangerous fumes. Charcoal is used for heating homes in the rainy season.
@@jamesattanah9699
You must have some other method because salt makes a fire become stronger.
I assume you have an exhaust that leads outside of the house? Because that's the best way of getting rid of the fumes.
Great job. I survived thru the texas winter storm as well. I wasnt prepared for it all. I've become a changed man for sure. Thanks for the video, keeping them coming.

That was horrible watching what happened to you all. I mean we get that every few years, but you all never do so we're not prepared.
I am prepping now so I can weather the storm better this year. I am even going to somewhat insulate my patio to keep it just a bit warmer and bearable in here. I'm in an apartment so not a lot I need to cover, but there are things that will make it a lot more manageable than it was last year and keep my heating bill down all winter too.
Oh, I just realized that I got the idea from someone on the news in Tx during all this. They used those insulatng panels with the silver coating in their living room to consolidate & confine the heat to a smaller area that they all stayed in. I realized I could literally make my closed in patio into an insulated greenhouse type area with those panels inside the fencing and thick clear plastic sheeting stapled out over the open air part to stop allow the light in but not so much wind and cold.
And it is right outside my sliding glass doors so that will stop the draft or at least most of it.
So glad you made it through the storm! We live in NW Arkansas, and I was very glad I prepared for the storm. Our new water lines were not yet buried in the ground and there was no skirting on the trailer house yet, either, so the cold wind was freezing up our water before the storm actually hit. My husband quickly put up temporary skirting as a wind barrier and we covered the water lines the best we could. We managed to keep water running in one bathroom, and I did fill some water jugs. We had a wood stove for heat so I made sure there was plenty of firewood in and near the house. Also, I had a couple oil lamps handy in case we lost power. I have a gas stove, but I knew I could cook on the wood stove if I needed to, or even using denatured alcohol as a cooking fuel. Fortunately, we never did lose power, but we were prepared for almost anything.
I was ready to hunker down by the fire and ride out the long cold spell (it was -10° F one night, and below freezing temps continually for a week and a half straight--in Arkansas!)...but the children just wanted to stay outside and play in the snow drifts. Hahaha! Not native southerners!
@@cccynova Very impressed. Sounded like you were ready to hunker down. Well prepared for sure. 👍
When Hurricane IKE came through I cooked quite a few things on my little Pepsi can stove.
Restaurant supply stores usually sell to the public, not just wholesale to businesses, and carry a lot of options for indoor cooking and even heating/cooling. Event rental places might also be able to help you with options if you say you are thinking about having a party or whatever, not for you to rent but to give you ideas of what is available out there. Pick their brains for free.
Incidentally, shopping your local restaurant supply place in person will have you finding a ton of useful prep items, often better quality for the price than online shopping. I got a 10 tray solid stainless steel food dehydrator/jerky maker from my local place for about $280. It has all the features you want and is comparable to an Excaliber, for a MUCH smaller price! Seriously a great deal.
Agree!
They had toilet paper when everyone had none. I was surprised they take general public customers if you go early.
Great info 👍🏽 i’ve always depended on my propane grill during power outages. I always keep stuff like can tuna and can chicken which doesn’t need cooking in case of a short term emergency.
Thanks for watching Butch!
Thanks for the Valuable Tips, Brother!!
Or u can cook on a regular grill it don't have to be propane.
Bugging in. Instead of bugging out. Is my top priority. Finding a group of survivalist to share the same problems in my area is a challenge. Thank you JR , for your series.
I was wondering what options there were for indoor cooking. Thank you for the video!
You’re welcome Marian!
New sub & enjoyed your presentation. It's nice to come across a channel that still educates & informs on matters of survival rather than getting into politics & religion. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching Linda!
We just want you to be ready
Just ran across this after dealing with Hurricane Ida. Very informative. Thank you.
Glad to help. Thanks for watching!
This is a great video and your presentation was perfect.
Thank you for posting.
Thank you Ken!
I know most people know this but I was surprised how many young people did not know you can light a gas stove with a match or lighter. The oven will not work but the stove will. They also did not know the importance of cracking a window when using the stove. Be sure your kids (even the adult ones) are in the know.
How... how did they not know how fire works?
Thanks 😊 great 👍 tips.
Thanks for showing that Chef stove. It’s on my list. I have the butane canisters for a larger camping stove but I like the idea of having something that approximates my stove. I have a folding version of that little stove you showed. The sterno rests nicely on the tray where the twigs would go if I’m cooking over a small fire. It also encases my other camping stove. I have to use that version outside but it’s way nicer to use putting the pot on the grate instead of balancing on that three prong stove. A cooking channel I watch does everything on something similar to that Chef One stove and he cooks delicious pasta dishes so it’s really functional. As long as you have the gas. Thanks for the information.
For the soot. Rub a layer of dish detergent before cooking makes for easy clean up
For easy cleaning a pot after being on the fire and full of soot all you need is to put liquid dish soap to the bottom of the pot before you start cooking. When you are ready to wash the pot, just rinse it. The soot will go away and the pot will be shining again. No scrubbing or nothing of that sort.
Thank-you!!!!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I wasn't going to watch all of this, but, the fellow is some good! Luck that I have a wood stove, and other little stoves some of which were demonstrated. We had an ice storm for a week, with no electricity. Circumstances wised me up fast~
Thanks for watching!
FYI Everclear and the high octane Vodkas work well in the Trangia and Pepsi stoves. Lol those are what I cooked with during the big freeze you mentioned. Used propane and a Kerosene heater to keep the place relatively warm. Thing about alcohol is you can extinguish an alcohol fire with water in a pinch. Been using a Pepsi stove before I heard about the Trangia 6 years or more ago. Make em for gifts.
Cover the bottom and sides of the pot with liquid soap. The black smoke residue will easily wash right off.
Lots of great information here. I use both the butane stove and Sterno for camping. I have also cooked on a wood burning fireplace. But I learned that gas fireplaces are sealed. They have a pipe that draws air from the outside and they also vent to the outside. They are not designed to have any opening or air exchange with the indoor area. So, no cooking on a gas fireplace. And I suspect that a gas fireplace has an electronic ignition, so I'm not even sure it would be able to keep you warm in a power outage. Sad!
One of the reasons I have a wood stove, not only for heating and reducing my electric bill but also a very effective way to cook. If you have an electric crockpot just remove the ceramic insert and put it on the stove and your good to go. If the surface of the stove is to hot place a trivet under the crockpot to regulate the temperature.
If I’m ever able to build a house, a wood stove is definitely on the list of things to include.
@@diypreppertv I have a wood stove in my shop. There are small wood burning stoves (can cook on them) for tents and RV's. If you have a suitable shed, tent, porch, etc. you may want to consider a wood option. If you can't use one of those, think about a rocket stove. Some can be DIY. I chose a SilverFire Survivor rocket stove because in addition to cooking on it I can also waterbath and pressure can foods.
@@oldtimerlee8820 I just supplies to learn to pickle eggs. I believe they stay good for a year in the fridge, but must be done properly. I hope I succeed.
@@cuteone1702 wow never heard of pickled eggs. @DIY Prepper You might want to remind people of Manual can openers. Since breaking my R Shoulder I feel my fingers don't work as well. I need a easy open can opener
I use a "Green, 2 burner gas camping stove " hooked up to a 5 gallon propane tank in my apartment for over a year. Works great, no problem, great alternative 👍.
How long will that 5 gallon propane tank last. I am thinking of getting a Colman stove.
How did you solve the carbon monoxide problem?
Using the large propane tanks indoors goes against fire codes in most places and is most likely prohibited in your lease agreement too. Either of which could leave you in trouble if you do create a problem. Propane is heavier than air so incase of a leak it will pool in low lying puddles waiting for an ignition source,
rather than rapidly disapating into the air as natural gas does.
Be aware of your local laws and fire codes before bringing open flames into your home! Stay safe out there.
Great info. I made an alcohol stove with a 5 inch long piece of copper tube with capped ends and 2 rows of 5 pin holes on the top. Make a metal holder, fill 1/3 full with a syringe. Nice blue flame.
When we sold our big house and moved to a small house with a propane stove and heater. We also built an outdoor kitchen with a solar oven, grill, pizza oven. Our plan for minimizing propane usage is to use a rocket stove and haybox. Also, a crockpot with a solar panel is also an option for us.
What is a haybox
@@jenniferisner5262 - they were popular during wwii. It is an insulated box that traps heat inside. I have a large Styrofoam cooler. I have glued mylar blankets to the interior. I begin my cooking inside, usinga lidded pot that retains heat well. Like a cast iron. When the pot is hot, I pop it into the hat box and surround it with sand bags. On the top too. Then you just close the lid and come back in 4 to 6 hours. Food is cooked using very little energy.
In old time days they would start stew or beans in a cast iron pot then take it out side , surround it with hay bales over the top to (not touching the pot) then all would go to the field to work . In the eve when they came home supper was cooked. A retro crock pot lol.
@@davefarley4318 - I understand completely. We use it for hot water for weekend coffee and for bringing things up to a boil quickly. Too easy to burn stuff. However, we just get the cast iron and it's contents hot then pop it into the haybox. I don't think any one off grid cooking method can replace a kitchen stove.
I have a wood burning stove. Got my grill. Both good. One for winter. One for summer.
But their is one more that everyone should consider. A 1000 watt solar system. With a cheap low watt microwave. It allows for fast way to boil water. No noise good in summer when it's already hot out.
Walmart carries a 700 watt microwave
But if it's cold solar don't work?
@@his4evr2c You can put those small systems out even in the cold. It just has to have day light. Just don't do it while it's snowing/raining. I do have a gas/propane generator if all else fails.
Excellent! Thankyou! This adds to my prepper data. God bless and be safe
Thanks Anne-Marie!
Our “primary” heat is a wood stove (we are upgrading to a high-efficiency hybrid next month) and it greatly outperforms the heat-pumps below 20F. And is awesome for cooking on when the power goes out.
As I'm the only one in this house of 6 (includes me) who likes to have a camp fire out on the lawn and cook over a fire, I been thinking of setting up some sort of small shelter or roof set up over the fire pit area to cook out there when it rains or snows. At the moment not so easy. I don't get alot of money and don't have anyone to help in that area. It's my parents' place, and not allowed to just go randomly cutting up all the trees I want in the forest on the property. Plus not easy to get out there much at this time due to health circumstances. My health problem does go through these fluctuations... good for a while, then bad for a while. The outdoors conditions with ALOT of mosquitoes doesn't help either. At the end of summer things should be pretty good again with cooler temperature, lower humidity, lack of mosquitoes, etc.
Great Video. New Subscriber so, thanks for the channel! Glad to see UA-cam promoted you to me. I like your "simple" style of thoroughly explaining things.
Thank you K.C.!
Thank you. Your research and knowledge is very valuable and the detail is really important for us less practical types. You seem like a born teacher
Thank you Judy!
I have all 3 of these elements in my kitchen. Carbon monoxide alarm. Propane stove and canisters. Opened windows.
I'm on it. M
tuna can stove .empty a small tuna can then take corrugated cardboard and cut into thin strips the same width as the can from top to bottom. roll up the cardboard as tight as you can so that it fits snugly in the can fill with melted candle wax and you have a cheap anytime camp stove.
Tuna in Olive oil I assume
@@deepwildblue74 Any kind of empty tuna can.
We learned this at camp. They called it a bunson burner. I had mine a long time. Used a metal coffee can upside down with a door cut in it to put the bunson burner in. I cooked toast on it. Eggs on it. Grilled cheese sandwiches. It was great fun too! Thanks for the memories!!
I'm 78 and my siblings and I called these buddy burners when we made these in 1950s and 1960s. We used coffee cans
Thank you so much for this information. I have friends that live in fully electric apartments in Chicago. This is very useful.
Thank you Madeline!
I love this video. How to cook safely small amounts of food and water is something I've worried about. I wouldn't want to advertise what I've got stored. And the wood stove? When I was a newborn a monthold, our town had a major power outage during an ice storm. My parents got me to friends who had a wood stove and I stayed in their kitchen for the warmth. I wish I knew how to cook on a wood stove, like my great grandmother had.
With my Coghlans folding stove from Dollarama for gel fuel can I had a tea candle in it instead of can of gel fuel and my coffee in a metal camp cup and the one tea candle did keep my coffee at a good heat level to take my time drinking it up. It was a s good as my electric mug _hot plate._
love the butane stove perfect for rv.
I bought a very nice Coleman single-burner stove last year for $30 and have ample canisters of propane in storage. I also made oil burners and have 5 gals of Fire Fly oil that is smokeless and odorless. I have on my "to get" list extinguishers and monoxide monitor so I guess I'm good to go!!! Prepping, although expensive, is fun and comes with peace of mind knowing I'll be ready for whatever comes. No fear. No panic. Just do it people so you won't be sorry. I enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Jean!
When they cut the power for 5 days a few years old in the winter, I was renting a house that had a wood burning stove since the house was built in 1958. I set up a micro climent, close enough to keep me warm at night because of the snow on the ground. Like a two person tent and was also able to cook on top of it. Only problem was neighbors who didn't have one saw the smoke comming from the chimney,so I did most of my cooking after dark when most were in their homes trying to stay warm. I have a gas stove where I live now but also have a two burners propane camp stove that can be used indoors by a back window that's not visible from the outside to not draw attention.
Try being helpful. Your neighbours could save your life
Both my Ma and I would love to have one of them household wood stove/oven put in the kitchen, but my Pa doesn't want it in here. Same with fireplace or wood stove. If I could have my own place and the money to get what I want, I'd be living in a log cabin (one big room, plus the loo) and would have a wood stove and addition of an oven box for it or the oven/stove that's heated by wood burning in the bottom.
Always have a couple of hurricane lamps around but never thought about putting them in the stove to heat stuff. Great idea. When I bought my current house the first thing I did was get rid of the electric furnace and oven. Installed room wall mount propane heaters and a propane stove. Power out, still warm and can cook stuff
I wonder if using your oven as a safe space for cooking with a portable fuel stove would be a better option than just sitting it out on a table or counter...if a fire started it would already be semi contained and you could close the door after extinguishing until everything is cooled off
I've been cooking on a 1 burner camping stove for 20years now. Im well prepared for a power cut. I've also got bottled water tinned dried and packet food and lots of candles.🙋🏼♀️👍
I’m thrilled to have this information and these ideas. Thank you!
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
Very good summary. I would note that for candles and old the hottest and cleanest part of the flame is about 3/8ths to 1/2 inch above the visible flame.
I have a stove as a back up. I use my solar generator with a regular 800 watt electric skillet and it only uses 5-7% of my battery per single meal👍. Ok I must share that my stove is a multi-fuel Coleman that burns Gasoline (yes and surprisingly safe) and liquid fuel. It took a few times to use gasoline without fearing it would explode, but it has no issues and it’s a Coleman. It burns very efficiently and clean. Using gasoline would be my second choice if I ran out of Cooking fuel. I also have a Kerosene wicked stove. White Kerosene also works well for cooking✔️. Great video topic DIY Prepper thanks
Thanks for watching!
@@baneverything5580 nice that the smaller units can also do it👍. The heating lunch boxes work great too, just slower but still low power. The egg cookers from Walmart cook 8? Eggs with 1/3 inch of water at the bottom, using steam to cook. Heating that little amount of water uses very little power👍. They cast about $26? Well worth it.
@@baneverything5580 glad we can share info. My solar unit is a 100 watt hr unit, so I believe we are getting the same conclusions. I believe in practical application over beach testing. I like to see how things function in real life. For real life my solar gen can do all my cooking daily and only uses a very small percentage of my battery, leaving power for lights, phone, laptop,coffee, tea etc.
You explain everything so well!! Pretty detailed, love it. You speak at the appropriate speed also! Thank you for sharing!!
What a blessing you are. Thank you for all this useful information. 😃👍
Thanks for watching and commenting Beverly!
@@diypreppertv your welcome
Those butane stoves are great. Fuel is cheap and you get a lot of cooking out of each one.
Thank you! Excellent presentation! 😊
At home I like to use a propane ( single burner ) camping stove with an extended cable from the canister to the burner. My Coleman double burner is also put to work for Hurricanes. The double burners are nice for a normal meal. For a hot beverage it's one of my alcohol stoves , easy , simple and safe to use. No worries about ventilation , back porch or inside with the windows open when a Hurricane takes the power out.
Going to get the butane stove! Thanks.

Thank you for the great way to use the oven and oil lamp that is a good idea sky is the limit 🌟
Very comprehensive overview and glad you also focused on fire safety. I live in a small apartment so I’m concerned with the safety issues of an open flame. I’ve also been researching the fuels that are safest to store since I don’t have a garage or shed. Im comfortable stocking up on sterno type canisters. Do you know if there are any issues w storing quantities of denatured alcohol?
Thanks for watching! Everything that I have read seems to indicate that it is safe to store indoors. I keep mine in the can that it came in far away from any potential heat sources.
@@diypreppertv Thanks, I think it’s time to expand my indoor alternate cooking preps.
@@whatnext715 What about a car battery? @DIY Prepper
Very complete of options! Thank you! I have natural gas stove but looking into backup.
Thanks for watching Sandy!
What if the natural gas pumping stations lose power--there goes the natural gas...
@@bamahama707 .. same as if you ran out of propane.
Thank you! Loved this video, very helpful!🙏💞
I've even made cookies on a woodstove. 😊
A gas fireplace uses the exact same source of fuel as a gas stovetop. Natural gas is almost pure methane (trace amounts of mercaptan make it smell for safety) and it introduces no toxins during the cooking process. Some gas fireplaces are designed to burn so clean they are vent free so any smoke or odors from cooking with be retained in your house.
Agree! I have a propane fueled stove in my kitchen. It can be converted to natural gas by changing the orifices. Charring peppers, for example, is done direcly over the flames. There is a camping bread toaster that sits over the flames, as well. If either of these fuels were harmful to foods, their use in cooking appliances would be banned, IMO.
Well done video. Great job❣️ thanks for sharing. 😊
Thank you Patti!
I know this is 2 years old but thank you so much for this information 🤩
Be aware of the risk that an open flame under a kitchen fan can ignite the grease in the fan. If that happens you have much, much bigger problems than getting a warm meal...
And this is different from a normal gas range used by millions.... How?
Well the gas range has four open flames on top and open flames in the broiler and roof of the oven.
That's why you regularly disassemble and clean the fan!
@@judyd1 people often fear what they're not used to, not seeing that it is basically the same as what they're used to.
JUST FOUND THIS ON 10/14/21 AND ENJOYED THE VIDEO. JUST SUBBED!
Rub a bar of lye soap on the bottom of pans to stop soot. Works for cooking on campfires too. Ty Girl Scouts!
We have a full kitchen set up out doors with a grill, bbq pit, smoker and flat grill. We never go without cooked food. BTW, we live in California, no snow and mild temps.
No fun in -20° with north wind!!
We resort to camp stove in garage! Even bbq takes a lot of propane to get hot.
good for apartment dwellers like me. Thanks!
Great video sir. I learned a lot.
Thanks Matt!
I have used multi-fuel portable single burner stoves off and on for years. They are very common in many parts of the world. The"hair spray" type butane canisters are much handier than using the (usually green) propane bottles. However in extra cold settings the butane loses effectiveness, so having both fuels on hand is a good idea if you worry about very cold weather. Although many of these stoves say outdoors only, but I use them indoors in a well-ventilated room (usually with a window cracked open). Keep extra butane canisters on hand because you can run out of fuel in the middle of cooking something.
don't panic. just prep...love it
Thank you!
Fantastic video - thank you 😃

I'm going to tell you something these are not the last days. Wanna know why I believe that. Well let me share my opinion in this. Well their are people who need to hear the word and the seed must take root and give birth snatching the soul back from the enemy. Secondly their are people in the same household some believer so e none believers some who have no faith and fallen away from the faith that God has plans to restore with 🔥 and most importantly God says his word will go on forever not meaning that the world will come to an end because it will one day but God is not finished yet in the first place. Look around look at the goodness of God still at work just because hard times come and go does not mean God has left us without. If you believe that he has left us in hards times then what is it working in you having you get up everyday going to work if you work, taking care of your children, helping another and so forth you? Well I believe we all woke up today this very day to give you proof that God is calling us no matter what to be strong in him and encourage each other and to help one another with love because that is the heart of our father in the first place. God bless you and keep you safe your family, your friends and your neighbor even if they get on your nerves may they still be blessed and taking care of in the mighty name Of Christ Jesus. ❤️🔥🙏🕊️ Peace, love and God's promises which never fails be with you always. 🕊️🙏🔥

I have a cheap one of them little metal box-like things you put the gel fuel can in the bottom. I got it from a dollar store and it folds up flat. With the gel fuel can it takes quite a bit of time to _cook_ a can of _Cambells Chunky_ Chowder in my small camping pot. Much quicker to cook on that Butane camp stove. But if you are patient and can wait, the gel fuel method will eventually actually cook it.
@Paco When I tried out the gel fuel can, I didn't really like it. I prefer butane stove for indoor/outdoor cooking. And a trip in the woods or just in the yard, I do like to use the camp fire or maybe a twig stove. when our Spring/Summer fire bans are on in the morning or days not good for fires, I'd just use my isobutane mini stove (little thing you screw onto butane can).
@Paco Well, the butane isn't too expensive for me, plus I had an issue with the fume/smell from the gel burning. I haven't had an issue using my butane stove indoor. And then there's propane, which I definitely have an issue breathing. I do have heightened sense of smell, hearing, taste and touch. Seems the only sense that's not so good is my sight. Anyway, outdoors, I really prefer wood fire (camp fire, twig stove).
Great video. Thank you. I have explained everything extremely well.

I used candles and a tin can b4 it takes longer but worth it and of course only does the small things and cans but worth going hungry ya know
Might I suggest a 280 Ah battery bank (rechargeable via generator or a solar panel) and an induction stove.
Wow the karosine in the stove was very ingenious for a white out snow storm and electric stove. My daughter has an electric stove.
Don’t forget to comb garage sales and resale shops for those cast iron skillets and pots😉

Great video, very helpful
Lol, you answered my question at the end pertaining to my Gas stove top being available with a manual (match....) start. Thank you!! Great video.
That’s like getting stuck on the escalator when the power goes out.
Unstable electricity is what prompted me to get a standard size propane cookstove / oven in my kitchen for regular use. I could see no use for an electric stove. I wanted a simple propane fueled stove with no bells or whistles - just an honest work horse. It cost all of $150 brand new about 5 years ago. We have had several power outrages in the mountains where I live, but we never went without a hot meal, hot water for baths or heat because my trusty propane stove does it all. If you have an electric stove and own your own home, see about switching out to a simple propane stove. The peace of mind is worth it, and so are the benefits.
I do not personally have experience cooking over multiple tealights (7 of them seem to be popular), but I do hear others warn of a potential fire if they are close enough to ignite each other's melted wax. Perhaps the way to overcome that would be to space the tealights further apart and use a pot with a larger circumference. Hopefully, we will hear from those of you with more experience than I have.
I made a beer can stove, just for the fun of it. The best way to extinguish it is to just use the base from another can. Hope this helps.
Thank you as always. I want to try to find the best way to cook rice without power or gas
Thanks for watching Nick. Since cooking rice mainly involves boiling water, either the butane or alcohol stoves will work fine. I was shocked how well the Solo Stove worked. It brought the water to an aggressive boil very quickly.
Video is well done.
Stanley makes a cool cook set in several configurations. Much more affordable but not as fancy. Walmart has them as well as Amazon.
Omg!!! i have oil lamps all over. I collect those.
