I've never seen one but the does not meat they don't exist. How about a
regular kettle on a propane stove, then a thermos to keep it hot?

If the week long power outage is a common occurrence, you'd need
supplemental heat of some sort to prevent pipe freeze ups anyway. If you
have a generator you can use an electric kettle.
