I realize I'm dredging up a bit of an old thread, but I had a few questions pertaining to my specific situation. I've recently moved into a townhouse and in planning for the possibility of a long term power outage due to excessive snow or something, it occurred to me that I have no backup heat or cooking device. The house has gas heat and stove.
I thought about a generator, but I have nowhere outside to store fuel. (I'm not sure if the implication is that those safety canisters can be safely kept indoors or not...) There's a basement, but the furnace is down there. There is an attic for storage also, but that's about it.
Anyone else in a situation like this that could help with some ideas? I thought maybe a large camping stove with sealed fuel canisters or something, but I really don't know...
Thanks.
