Total electricity blackout. “Roughing it” cooking.

My city is shut down in power for two days.(about half a he city)
Oh. The horrors.

making rice!

I could go out to eat. Get to-go food.
But i thawed a hunk of line caught salmon yesterday.

Hopefully, you won’t have to thaw your whole freezer.

Good luck, stay cool

In Fl we have generators as well. But they're for hurricanes.

Fire up the grill and suffer through as best you can.

Nah. The generator runs the fridge/freezer. And starts my natural gas tankless water heater. Very small loads. I run it during the day. About 10 hours then announce” nobody opens the fridge!” I went 8 days like that.

Yeah, those little suitcase generators don't make too much juice. Stay safe and enjoy the fish?

Too much juice is an impossibility

Can we take a moment to appreciate @juice's global pop culture knowledge? A cosmopolitan gentleman and a scholar if there ever was one.

I recently got a dual fuel inverter generator (about 3000W), the idea is to run it with propane only on my condo balcony and keep essentials going when/if needed. We have overhead power lines and lots of old trees which tend to lose branches in summer/winter storms.

The iwatani 35fw 15k btu stove is also an essential, have had to made morning coffee indoors a few times with it lol. Can cook outdoors on BBQ with the side burner or the wok burner too

No power = grill + whiskey.
Also, good when there is power.

We bought a two burner Coleman white gas stove when Mt. St. Helens took our power out and have been using for outages and camping trips every since. White gas sure has went up in price though!

My very, very, frugal father maintained that "white" gas was just unleaded gas for $5.00 gallon. With four of us there was a lot of camping in my younger years.

Your father was correct. When i was a boy my father would go to the Atlantic gas station to get white gas for his 1960 Austin Healy sprite. (Yes i am that old). However it was not $5 per gallon back then

 

[daveb]

We're of the same era. "White" gas was sold in red, 1 G cans at Sears (hell, everything was sold at Sears back then). Unleaded from the gas station, when available, was at a small premium from regular but still under a buck.
