You Missed i think the Biggest way to Cook in a city. Most people are not aware that the Grills commonly found in parks are built to withstand a LOT of use with heavy gauge Steel and as such can be used with wood as well.
I was once visiting my parents for dinner when they lost power. I had been camping so still had one of those butane can cookers in my car. I boiled some water & filled their thermos so I grabbed the spares & visited the elderly neighbours. They were so pleased to be able to make a hot drink.
I did that four years ago, after my neighbor's husband had died. I boiled-up water for myself, and then for her, and walked it over to her, so that she would have hot water - for tea/ coffee, and also for at least instant noodle soup. Following that, she was more receptive to my advice to get her gas fireplace serviced, so that she would at least have heat. Not sure if she's found or purchased a butane stove, or anything else, since...
FYI for a nice warm shower, put a gallon jug of water in the sun in the morning. (Milk jug). Tap some holes in the lid. In the afternoon, you will have a nice warm jug of water. Keep the lid on. Soap up & rinse off. A gallon of water goes a long way! We use this when the power goes out during hurricane season.
After surviving the Texas snowmageddon almost two years ago, I can tell I was prepared but can make improvements. 1) stern did help warm up soups and boil water but a Spirit stove would help increase the heat. Thx great recommendation! I have since added a makeshift oven for baking method to be used in the fireplace. 2) layered clothing worked but I recommend wearing night hat to keep my head warm when I sleep. 3) all though the fire place worked, a portable butane heater is needed incase I need to be on another room or out of firewood. 4) I am looking at a long term method for bathing and washing clothes. Some people in my household thought it was business as usual and changed cloth like the academy awards. No electricity, no clean dry cloths or dishes or showers. 😮
I really enjoy all of your DIY videos for these last 2plus years! We live in earthquake country and the Northridge earthquake in 1994 devastated us. We lived outside of our home for at least 3 days in our van…had to turn off the gas and water in our house in case of leaks. We survived with the food my kids worked in grocery stores that they packed in coolers and brought it over to our home…. the grocery stores were throwing out good frozen foods a few hours after the earthquake because of no electricity in the stores. Good thing we had a large grill and a large tank of propane that cooked our food outside. This time around, we bought a solar generated grill/stove, also a butane stove and have at least a couple of cases of butane cans. This video is a good one. Passing it on to family across the U.S. You never know if the grid goes down everywhere or anywhere. The earthquake messed up the roads you couldn’t drive through. We had a Harley with an attached sidecar that allowed us to go places on the road that cars couldn’t. A regular bicycle helped also. Be prepared always people. 🙏🏻😇👍🏻🧟♀️
I have been wanting to cook outside for a while, especially since here in Florida we sometimes have to go without power for a few day after hurricanes & tropical storms. I recently bought a tiny charcoal grill (camp size) and a butane grill from Walmart. I alternate between the 2 on my back patio. The charcoal grill is more time consuming and a lot more work, but also a lot more fun. I use tumbleweed fire starters instead of lighter fluid. The butane grill is easier to use and is quick. I like having the option to use either one.
Same here. After hurricane Irma I was out of electric for six days. I had supplies, and ate all my meals cold out of cans, because I wasn't sure about making a fire. Besides, it was in the 90's, and hot food was not my priority. But I also went and bought a tiny charcoal grill and got some self-starting charcoal. I since have learned how to cook over candles. All I really want is my coffee in the morning. The rest is good raw or out of cans with some oil and vinegar, like I did before. I also bought a battery-run fan for about $39. It's a fair size. Last time, I was sleeping with a spritz bottle of water it was so hot. Nothing like a power out situation to give us the incentive to be better prepared next time.
You can also cook with candles! A bunch of tea candles huddled together under a rack suspended a couple inches off the ground or countertop can heat a frying pan or boil water.
Very informative and well done video. I’m full time mobile with solar panel on top and a couple of solar generators inside. I do most of my cooking with small appliances.
Two things. I'm wondering about cooking with wood pellets in my mini stoves. Last, a funny story. A guy at a local Home Depot was arguing with another guy that mineral spirits wouldn't burn. Long story short he poured a good bit on the floor in a back room, and threw a match down. True story! Well, it burned a LOT of stuff and part of the building before the fire department got there. I watched them put out the fire. He's unemployed. 😔
Good advices. But I have other stoves. They are old and some are from the 30's 40's and 50's and back in the day very common in Europe. Kerosene/paraffin stoves. The ones with 3 or 4 wicks are great and they don't have any problems with larger pots.
I was given a dual burner white gas stove, takes a bit to get it figured out, but the fuel lasted 4 days and there was some left in the tank (it's a small tank, so I was impressed) and it worked extremely well. The weather was perfect for just setting up a shelter but we didn't always want a fire going...so the stove got some love. Also built a red brick rocket stove right beside a block fire pit that could prolly be pretty easily converted to an oven or a smoker. Just some other thoughts. Good video, I enjoy your content. God bless and stay ready.
The Coleman camping stoves were on sale at Walmart the other day. I bought one for myself and one for my Mom along with four butane canisters. I'm hoping to slowly add more butane canisters as time progresses.
Your rocket stove looks awesome. I just got my Kelly Kettle and am very excited. I am by myself and don't plan to be cooking up a storm in emergency conditions. It should do for a cup of tea, coffee, soup or dehydrated meal. I am nervous about storing fuel.
People have suggested buying a big Thermos (old stainless lunch thermoses are the best) to store hot water or soup in. I bought one for $4.00 at a resale shop.
I was homeless for a few months several years ago. Turned it all around and am better now than I was before. While homeless, I had a Kelly kettle. It was really great. The only problem was it developed a leak where the " thing" the wire bail connected thru was spot welded to the body of the kettle. It wasn't a huge leak, but enough to make sizzles in the fire.
I got an oven for my Coleman liquid fuel stove. Baked rustic Dutch oven bread in it this summer. Came out great but you have to practice. And tend it carefully the flame height needs to managed to maintain temperature. I used a probe thermometer (digital with the wire attached that goes in the oven) slipped into an opening just hanging in the oven to monitor the temp as the one in the door wasn't as accurate. A dutch oven won't fit so I used a graniteware soup pot, parchment paper inside it to hold the dough and aluminum foil on the top of the pan for a cover.
JR, your a very intelligent man and as always thankfully sharing a lot of great information. I spent quite a few years as a Scoutmaster and learned a number of outdoor cooking methods, but since watching you I have purchased a rocket stove and a single burner propane/butane stove planning to do most of my emergency or survival cooking on those. My camping dutch oven would also figure into it using charcoal. Thankfully I'm far enough from my neighbors that the smell of the charcoal shouldn't be a factor. Thanks again!
Another great stove to have is a Coleman dual fuel stove. Because you can have three fuel sources with one stove. White gas, unleaded gasoline, and you can buy an adapter and use propane also. That's a win win in my book.
💯% with ability to create a fire to boil water / warm water ( I downright despise cold-water showers ) Cook, Use the propane stock to fuel a generator, etc. Rocket stove type that utilizes “found fuels” such as tree branches/wood scraps, dried dung …. or whatever other less stinky fuel you can locate is a definite plus since it’s naturally scavenged fuels vs a fuel you need to purchase. Redundant cooking & heating sources for the win. Great topic you chose.
A good thing to do round about september time is to pay a visit to the supermarkets, as they tend to be selling off summer stuff like barbecues, bags of wood and charcoal really cheaply to get rid of them. It might be a bit late in the year now, but my local place still has some large bags of charcoal for £2 - dirt cheap!
I think you missed the possibilities of the solo stove lineup. They have some great stoves and firepits with cooking accessories such as a grill, griddle, and wok. They also use wood from split logs to simple sticks and pine cones with little to no smoke.
I also, as a backup to my backups, (lol) have and use occasionally a vintage Coleman white gas camp stove. It can also run very well on unleaded gasoline. Nice to have alternatives!
I love having an alcohol burner or a propane burner inside a rocket stove. The rocket stove can be used as a wind screen. This is plan "B" if sticks are too moist to burn and will smoke a lot due to rain, snow, sleet, and ice.
Thanks for this info! I have been keeping my eye out on a video like this to share with our Patriot Group! We have multiple options ready to go. Wood fire pit, coleman camp stove, rocket stove.. I bought a few new fire extinguishers and a new digital carbon monoxide alarm. This is getting expensive, but I want to make sure we have a fighting chance.
I have several models of the Firebox stove that uses all different fuels. The Gen 2 5” stove can take the weight of several large Dutch ovens too. Wood pellets are cheap and easy to find. They all work with the Trangia alcohol burner. I would make these my first choice of all the other stoves like the ones you showed.
I’ve had the Silverfire Survivor rocket stove for several years and highly recommend it. It’s more expensive than others but the quality is there. I’ll get mine going with some fat wood then use a couple of charcoal briquettes to cook an entire meal
Same here. I have a Silverfire Survivor, too. If you add a Coleman camp oven along with some toaster oven sized baking sheets/pans, a whole lot of cooking can be done with a few sticks. I even have a pizza stone toaster oven accessory for mine.
Just picked up tailgate grill. I hated my big gas grill. It's portable n we made steaks last night. Great gadget. 35$ at Walmart. Bought adapter at Lowe's so I can hook up to large grill tank. Best investment ever.
There are dual-fuel propane/butane camp stoves that don't cost much more. I have one of those and a cheap single-burner propane stove for a backup - always have a backup.
Thanks JR, great practical advice as always! IMHO Kelly Kettles are a terrific bit of kit for sustainable water boiling outside and the optional hobo stove attachment is also useful for low volume cooking, when 'out and about'. I am fortunate to have multi-fuel/wood burning stove options and have also added portable butane and spirit burner stoves as backups in case my main propane kitchen stove goes down. As a low volume backup to any other available particulate filtration system you might already have, a Milbank filter "sock" is effective at removing sediments from water before boiling if it has been taken from a muddy stream, or if the available water source is visually murky looking. Particularly useful to help protect the life of the cartridge if you are in the field and use a Grayl filter or similar. Filling Thermos flasks and hot water bottles at home before planned power outages is also helpful.
Having to prepare for Hurricane season every year my #1 cooking fuel is the Sterno . Can cook indoors,no fumes,gets hot enough to brew my coffee, bake bread, cook food.
years ago i found a web site solar cookers international i made a solar cooker out of cardboard and foil used it in hurricane ike and worked great you might like it was cheep effective and light weight
Nice list of ways to cook. For budget stove. I have tried and really like cooking with Firebox style stainless grill/stove. Using charcoal preferred over wood but wood can work. I use the one on Amazon by Redcapmp. They have different grills for under $35.00 and I used aluminum dome cover when grilling a steak to hold heat in.
A good rundown of options there, makes me think of getting hold of a rocket stove as an addition to the propane and alcohol options I already have, due to it being fueled with wood an therefore not reliant on fuels that have to be bought.
U said any method of cooking food will smell. I was thinking. Sprouts and microgreens can be kept in the dark like downstairs and then all ur doing is boiling water. U could probably reuse the water by boiling it
I’m a new subscriber here. Somewhat new to prepping, and live in a northern climate. This has been a big concern for me. I bought a camp stove that uses propane, but wanted to know…can these be used inside with some ventilation? I thought you could, but after I bought it was told that you cannot use these inside even with ventilation. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for all the great advice.
i am going to make a rocket stove to use outside when the weather permits, but the alcohol stove is what i will use during blizzards, rain storms or when i may be sick.....
Another great video JR. I just received a Gas One dual fuel (butane & propane) stove, at your recommendation (from an earlier video) and an Ironclad rocket stove (that was just delivered today. Can’t wait to “play around” with them and cook-up some vittles. 🤤
Friend of mine is a contractor. In the summer he places cans of food on the dashboard of his truck one hour before lunch. Come lunch time his lunch is nice and hot.
Tru dat. Also, good thing to think about for the upcoming apocalypse. When buying a new property, buy one next door to the fat bloke. One, he can't run so fast and two, more meat. 👨🍳🏃
Thank you for this and all your other very practical preparedness videos. An excellent and very informative channel. Btw, I have both a butane and a propane camping stoves. Learned from this video that butane is sensitive to cold temperatures. Thank you for educating me on that fact.
The way our climate is going I'm unsure how much sunlight we're going to have in the future. It makes me cautious about solar panels, parabolic cookers and similar...
As for Trangia stove - I've boiled 7 litres of soup on it and then cooked hotdogs, I filled it to just under the top and got a burn for about 15 minutes or so. It was not a problem. I'm a camper/bushcrafter/prepper from the UK - most of our winters are no way as bad as yours just longer. But we do get the tail end of storms from Florida and the Caribbean here, they can cause a bit of damage. Camping got me into Bushcraft and Prepping. I use a lot of stuff and techniques I learnt when serving. In Pathfinder School and out on the tours you got to do a lot of things that transpose right into prepping, camping and Bushcraft. Learning those techniques for civilians would aid a longer life in staying alive, most of them don't need a firearm, they don't involve high technology or army manoeuvres - they just require the right mind set. It ain't John Wayne and it ain't John Rambo - it's about thinking right and learning simple techniques to stay alive and working as a team to get through.
Mine isn't from Coughlin but it is a folding stove it does not have paint I think it's been treated metal you know so that it cuz I know I shipped it and I have scratched it and it's still black...
You aren't supposed to boil water with the plug in the Kelly Kettle. I have a couple of those I discovered in my grandfathers garage, they have the cork plugs not the new rubber.
The rubber plugs are different and are designed to be used when boiling. They have a vent that acts as a whistle. From the manufacturer: www.kellykettle.com/how-to-use-the-kelly-kettle
Jr! Appreciate the good advice again. I'm pretty much versatile when it comes to cooking foods, and a few different methods, i have also flameless ration heaters in stock. But i have a question if you don't mind or any of your viewers, What is the safest way of cooking in a makeshift bunker, taking in mind that it will be all sealed off from outside, with makeshift ventilation pipes. Thank you all in advance, just a question i need to put to bed so to speak.
@@diypreppertv Thank you Jr👍 I have a few idea's and plans for ventilation especially for using a compact wood burner with a flue pipe that reaches outside the protective space. But my research keeps leading me to the same path.... carbon monoxide! So i understand that you need plenty of ventilation, to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning , however in a makeshift bunker this proves difficult in an NBC situation. Would a fan to circulate the air in side the bunker be enough? Thank you in advance really appreciate any advise possible. Take care Jr, Make It Safe 👍👊
It is not something I ever thought of it would be work a go but I would recommend they would have to be fully dry as rock can explode if their is water inside.
Go petrol ⛽ powered , coleman stove same power of house stove.. cup of fuel enough to cook a feast, no smoke.. easy transportation , fuel in scrap cars mowers will sort ya out ..

Everyone over looks coleman 2 burner propane stoves. Pretty portable, hooks up to lantern bottles or regular ones too.
Right on Colman classic are made to last!
For long term, you can't beat solar. No smell, no noise, no smoke, no fuel to run out of.

Rocket stoves are best
You can also cook with candles! A bunch of tea candles huddled together under a rack suspended a couple inches off the ground or countertop can heat a frying pan or boil water.
Do not place those candles to close together. Can cause a fire.
On a cement block with stove griddle and wood, chocoal
Only problem is carbon poisoning. It has to be a blue flame unless you're outside

I've found butane canisters the cheapest at Oriental grocery stores, usually about 5.00 for a 4 pack.

Same here. I have a Silverfire Survivor, too. If you add a Coleman camp oven along with some toaster oven sized baking sheets/pans, a whole lot of cooking can be done with a few sticks. I even have a pizza stone toaster oven accessory for mine.
Just picked up tailgate grill. I hated my big gas grill. It's portable n we made steaks last night. Great gadget. 35$ at Walmart. Bought adapter at Lowe's so I can hook up to large grill tank. Best investment ever.
Thank you for sharing this information with us
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
i love your video, telling the downside of stuff, let me feal that your honest. love it
I saw a video someone did using tea lights in a muffin tin, one in each little cup & setting the pan on top. Great tip.
Thanks for sharing!
There are dual-fuel propane/butane camp stoves that don't cost much more. I have one of those and a cheap single-burner propane stove for a backup - always have a backup.
Came back to this one . Thanks Jr
Thanks JR, great practical advice as always! IMHO Kelly Kettles are a terrific bit of kit for sustainable water boiling outside and the optional hobo stove attachment is also useful for low volume cooking, when 'out and about'. I am fortunate to have multi-fuel/wood burning stove options and have also added portable butane and spirit burner stoves as backups in case my main propane kitchen stove goes down. As a low volume backup to any other available particulate filtration system you might already have, a Milbank filter "sock" is effective at removing sediments from water before boiling if it has been taken from a muddy stream, or if the available water source is visually murky looking. Particularly useful to help protect the life of the cartridge if you are in the field and use a Grayl filter or similar. Filling Thermos flasks and hot water bottles at home before planned power outages is also helpful.
I really would like your suggestion for heating water to boiling to make coffee indoors.
Having to prepare for Hurricane season every year my #1 cooking fuel is the Sterno .
Can cook indoors,no fumes,gets hot enough to brew my coffee, bake bread, cook food.
years ago i found a web site solar cookers international i made a solar cooker out of cardboard and foil used it in hurricane ike and worked great you might like it was cheep effective and light weight
Outstanding and comprehensive review.
Thank you Geoffrey!
I’m looking at a the new Vesta from my patriot supply! Heater and stove safe for use inside due to the heart source! Stereo!!
I have that same Pathfinder set, very kool. the water bottle is part of my EDC
I like mine as well. Thanks for watching and commenting!
You can use charcoal in the Kelly kettle hobo stove and such.
Thanks for all the great videos.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Very interesting and complete video. Thanks!
You’re welcome Claudia! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@diypreppertv you have a deft, technically knowledgeable way of explaining the different choices, in a comfortable, easy going style. Well done!
Thanks, JR!
Always eager to view your videos. Thanks, J.R.!!
Thank you Karl!
i saw on amazone a protect like a rocket but you can put 1 large 12inch wood, like those you buy
Always appreciat your videos. God bless you...
Thank you Gary!
Propane is great but doesn’t work as well at high altitudes.
Nice list of ways to cook. For budget stove. I have tried and really like cooking with Firebox style stainless grill/stove. Using charcoal preferred over wood but wood can work. I use the one on Amazon by Redcapmp. They have different grills for under $35.00 and I used aluminum dome cover when grilling a steak to hold heat in.
Enjoy your videos, good practical advice.
A good rundown of options there, makes me think of getting hold of a rocket stove as an addition to the propane and alcohol options I already have, due to it being fueled with wood an therefore not reliant on fuels that have to be bought.
After playing around with these methods it has become one of my favorites.
U said any method of cooking food will smell. I was thinking. Sprouts and microgreens can be kept in the dark like downstairs and then all ur doing is boiling water. U could probably reuse the water by boiling it
I’m a new subscriber here. Somewhat new to prepping, and live in a northern climate. This has been a big concern for me. I bought a camp stove that uses propane, but wanted to know…can these be used inside with some ventilation? I thought you could, but after I bought it was told that you cannot use these inside even with ventilation. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for all the great advice.
i am going to make a rocket stove to use outside when the weather permits, but the alcohol stove is what i will use during blizzards, rain storms or when i may be sick.....
Anybody else have a feeling something might happen this winter?
Thanks for the great info 🙏✌️♥️ to all.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Another great video JR. I just received a Gas One dual fuel (butane & propane) stove, at your recommendation (from an earlier video) and an Ironclad rocket stove (that was just delivered today. Can’t wait to “play around” with them and cook-up some vittles. 🤤
Thanks for sharing! They are fun to test out!
I love my Gas One!
Excellent video 👍🏽
Kerosene is another great option. The Amish use this method.
Excellent video, just what I needed
A Dutch over is great for baking but you have to be able to add coals to the lid. Did it a year ago and the French bread was so tasty...
9:45 oh yeah, we have about 2 weeks every years when we have enough sunshine to use a solar oven here in Ireland. 🤣🤣🤣
In The Netherlands it isn't that better 🤣😂
No one likes a show off.
:)
Thanks for Sharing 😁... Very Helpful and Greatly Appreciated ❤🥀🥀🥀
Friend of mine is a contractor. In the summer he places cans of food on the dashboard of his truck one hour before lunch. Come lunch time his lunch is nice and hot.
would use grill 1st, my hobo stove, then my stoves inside window cracked a little for ventilation
Propane is Temp sensitive if you are in Minnesota! If it's SUB-ZERO, things can get weird! 😉
Why wouldn’t you use a charcoal grill as a wood burning stove in an emergency? Any reason that wouldn’t work?
10:52
Sounds like a reasonable plan.
It will draw others who will kill u for your food
@@estherdavis1646 yes I would agree with that under the circumstances you are presenting, I hadn’t gone to that degree of total collapse.
@@estherdavis1646 probably a real possibility but there’s something fir that too that would have a high likelihood of necessity.
Good Information- Thanks Sir
Thanks for watching!
If using charcoal, first make a BIG sign stating “Better to charcoal grill with your neighbor than charcoal grill your neighbor” 😉🤣
Tru dat. Also, good thing to think about for the upcoming apocalypse. When buying a new property, buy one next door to the fat bloke. One, he can't run so fast and two, more meat. 👨🍳🏃
Thank you for this and all your other very practical preparedness videos. An excellent and very informative channel. Btw, I have both a butane and a propane camping stoves. Learned from this video that butane is sensitive to cold temperatures. Thank you for educating me on that fact.
You’re welcome Arthur! Glad I could help!
THKS
What is the solar cooker made of out?. I agree if you have a solar station and solar panels people will target you in times of desperation.
Cooking outside where people are starving can be dangerous too. They smell it, they’re coming!
I found a rv stove in the garbage the only thing wrong with it is one burner wouldn’t light the oven works I’m ok with that
I have cooked on a wood stove for years now, I'll never go back
What about cooking with solar it doesn't cost.and is quiet, doesn't smell seems like a good idea.
Great information
The way our climate is going I'm unsure how much sunlight we're going to have in the future.
It makes me cautious about solar panels, parabolic cookers and similar...
coleman camp oven on top of your existing wood stove:')
Where can I find a solar cook stove ?
As for Trangia stove - I've boiled 7 litres of soup on it and then cooked hotdogs, I filled it to just under the top and got a burn for about 15 minutes or so. It was not a problem. I'm a camper/bushcrafter/prepper from the UK - most of our winters are no way as bad as yours just longer. But we do get the tail end of storms from Florida and the Caribbean here, they can cause a bit of damage.
Camping got me into Bushcraft and Prepping. I use a lot of stuff and techniques I learnt when serving. In Pathfinder School and out on the tours you got to do a lot of things that transpose right into prepping, camping and Bushcraft. Learning those techniques for civilians would aid a longer life in staying alive, most of them don't need a firearm, they don't involve high technology or army manoeuvres - they just require the right mind set. It ain't John Wayne and it ain't John Rambo - it's about thinking right and learning simple techniques to stay alive and working as a team to get through.
Can you store camping stove fuel canister inside a tiny home?
Mine isn't from Coughlin but it is a folding stove it does not have paint I think it's been treated metal you know so that it cuz I know I shipped it and I have scratched it and it's still black...
Rocket Stove and Cook Set
I can't find a butane stove for indoor use. What brand can I buy ? Thank you.
You aren't supposed to boil water with the plug in the Kelly Kettle. I have a couple of those I discovered in my grandfathers garage, they have the cork plugs not the new rubber.
The rubber plugs are different and are designed to be used when boiling. They have a vent that acts as a whistle. From the manufacturer: www.kellykettle.com/how-to-use-the-kelly-kettle
Just put 2qt.water in sun with 5 teabags its showing tea color right off in minute's 😊just did this.😊
Make your own rocket stove. @Dining on a dime to grow rich has a vid on how to.
What do you do,with the empty cans,as you can’t resicle.them?
You can use them to reroof your chicken shed…..
😄👍Good Stuff, Great Tips
Thanks for watching!
Rocket stove is the only thing to speak of in the long run
ONLY thing im worried about is carbon monoxide poisoning
Jr! Appreciate the good advice again. I'm pretty much versatile when it comes to cooking foods, and a few different methods, i have also flameless ration heaters in stock.
But i have a question if you don't mind or any of your viewers, What is the safest way of cooking in a makeshift bunker, taking in mind that it will be all sealed off from outside, with makeshift ventilation pipes.
Thank you all in advance, just a question i need to put to bed so to speak.
Let me get back to you on that. I’ll look into it.
@@diypreppertv Thank you Jr👍 I have a few idea's and plans for ventilation especially for using a compact wood burner with a flue pipe that reaches outside the protective space.
But my research keeps leading me to the same path.... carbon monoxide!
So i understand that you need plenty of ventilation, to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning , however in a makeshift bunker this proves difficult in an NBC situation.
Would a fan to circulate the air in side the bunker be enough?
Thank you in advance really appreciate any advise possible.
Take care Jr, Make It Safe 👍👊
Watch pets around cooking areas or candles
What are your thoughts on lava rock, for a rocket stove? I would appreciate your thoughts, thank you. Love your channel.
It is not something I ever thought of it would be work a go but I would recommend they would have to be fully dry as rock can explode if their is water inside.
How would you be using the lava rock? Would it be for the actual construction of the stove?
Go petrol ⛽ powered , coleman stove same power of house stove.. cup of fuel enough to cook a feast, no smoke.. easy transportation , fuel in scrap cars mowers will sort ya out ..
