    Having just been without power for 3 days, my first goal is to get something to allow me to cook with no power. I must say I am sick of peanut butter and crackers, and I would have killed for hot coffee or chocolate! All I have is a charcoal grill and I was afraid to try it in the house and outside was in the teens, brrrr! Even a propane grill would have been ok.
    Secondly, I need to finish up our 72 hour bags and also update the bag in the car.
    Finally, I need to get my stockpile built back up. When my unemployment ran out in May we pretty much depleted it in the past 8 months. But it sure came in handy not having to buy so much at the grocery, just the basics, fruits and veggies!

      Please do not ever use a propane grill, or any kind fo grill indoors. You will very likely posion yourself and your family with deadly carbon monoxide. I am sure you know it is odorless or colorless. It is far better to grill, bundled up, outside in the teens than to die indoors with your grill.
