Electricity was a most WONDROUS invention

1. Not to be pedantic, but electricity wasn't invented. It's nice to have it, though.

On the gas grill on the deck tho.

3. If you have yard learn how to make a rocket stove.

Just bricks.

YouTube has several videos.

Also get a solar generator with a few solar panels.

We have a ton of solar and wind generation out here.

We really off grid.

I remember after Hurricane Ike the power coming back on.

Two weeks no power.

4. Will have to look into it.

We were without power here for two weeks after a winter storm in the 90's. Would not like to be grilling out when it's 10 below.

5. Look into solar generators.

Get as big as you one can afford.

You can run a lot of stuff off on one.

The rocket stove you can use yard waste.

The rocket stove is a chimney.

You can boil water or cook a meal on it.

Good for a emergency.
