I know I can... but some things are easier than others, and we have a
limited supply of gas bottles. (not to mention that I don't feel
comfortable using the stove indoors for long at a time, even with the
windows open. The risk is minimal, but it does say on it 'outdoor use
only'... last year when we had no power I cooked one nice hot meal a
day for us, and it was a blessing!
