Aside from outages -
The onlly (three) times I've had an oven fire have been on an electric stove. Fire is good. On the other hand, I use a crock pot, microwave and even a hotplate a lot. It is good to have redundancy in heat source. |

Richard, At the family farm, we had a wood burning cooking stove. Didn't do much to heat the house though. A neighbor has a wood burning heating system. I can smell it outside on occasion and the aroma is wonderful! My fireplaces aren't much use as far as heating goes. Rather they suck the heat up the chimney.  Andy |

And propane >> generators are widely available... the best choice for full home use. > >Sorry Sheldon, it's a 5,000 gallon tank! I have a 3,500 sq ft house in upstate NY (winters colder than a witch's tit). I heat my entire house with propane, make hot water and cook all with propane, and all I need is a 500 gallon tank, which is more than adequate. And a 500 gallon tank is a huge thing, about 4' diameter, 8' long... like I said, a 5,000 gallon tank would be larger than the friggin' trailer you call home. With a 5,000 gallon tank you're talking minimally $7,500 worth of propane, enough to heat an entire 3,500 sq ft house in northern New England, for at least *three years*... besides the fact that having more than a 1,000 gallon propane tank on residential property in the US is illegal. Now everyone knows that besides being an ignoranus you are also a liar. You claim to have at least 40 acres, with a 5,000 gallon propane tank, and you never heard of a propane generator... you're a miserable low life LYING *******! The tanker that delivers my propane is 3,000 gallons, a huge truck. Most residenses that heat with propane get by fine with a 250 gallon tank but since I have the room to hide the tank I went to the next size... anything larger is ridiculous. Anyone with a working brain can peruse this site and *easily* figure out that Andy (the newbie putz) is a LIAR! http://hansontank.us/propanetanks.html ---= BOYCOTT FRANCE (belgium) GERMANY--SPAIN =--- ---= Move UNITED NATIONS To Paris =--- ********* "Life would be devoid of all meaning were it without tribulation."

One of those others (posting above). I have natural gas for everything but the burner for my Kamado grills. It is used primarily for lighting the lump charcoal, so if I did run out it would hardly be a crisis. I'd just light using a charcoal chimney. But I *did* word it rather poorly.

They shut off the main after we were supposed to have evacuated, and sent a crew out to turn off all the curb-valves and post notes on the doors. I'm assuming this was done after the "All Clear" was issued. Considering the alternative, even without the prior warning you received, was only slightly inconvenience. Your "*petty inconvenience*" describes it well.
