If the electricity goes out we can still use the fireplaces and the wall heater unless the gas line freezes. We try to maintain it so that doesnt happen, but sometime it does anyway. The stove is gas and the oven is electric. If the gas goes out I have a 3 burner butterfly kerosene stove. Its brand new thought and I have not broke it in. I need to do that. I also have a 22 wick stove that is new and not broken in. I have kerosene lanterns as well. I have some kerosene stored and I am now trying out a fuel made from animal tallow I get from a bio tech place. The owner is a chemist and he helps me with my soap questions and trials. I am very lucky to have him for a friend I think.debbieohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16591676862695285439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7836569253657728265.post-78208707497466508062010-01-27T17:06:59.542-06:002010-01-27T17:06:59.542-06:00An inverter to run from an idling car?

Hubby idled the car with an inverter hooked to it, and it gave us a bit of electric. We all got cozy under blankets and watched movies. :-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7836569253657728265.post-69433259113663407002010-01-27T16:23:45.271-06:002010-01-27T16:23:45.271-06:00How do you heat your home?
