Add a dual fuel generator which runs off propane. That’s how we survived last week. I picked up at an estate sale a Coleman propane slow cooker which was almost new. I said it was for backyard barbecues.

@@mwn3512 I actually have that, and picked up a propane heater with some propane. Btw, those things go quick too. You can try Walmart Pick-Up in your area. That's how I got mine 😃

True story. This is probably some 30 years ago at this point. I bought a Coleman camp stove as part of a camping / emergency kit from Walmart. I pulled it out, verified it worked, and put it right back in the box. Went years without using it. I was in Florida after a really bad hurricane. We were without power for about two weeks. I pull out the Coleman Camp stove, hook it up, and I've got a cooked meal not even 5 minutes later. I noted, that at the time it took me to cook with the Coleman stove was a fraction of the time it took me to cook on the traditional electric stove. After we got power back, I put the Coleman stove back in the box. And there it has been every since. But I know I have it if I need it. These days I have an outside grill that pretty much can serve the same purpose. And I have spare fuel canisters for both. All I can say is before I even owned a sleeping bag, I had a Coleman stove as part of my emergency kit. It was a major expense at the time working just minimum wage, but I've never had a reason to regret the purchase. I just hope the stoves Coleman is pumping out these days match the same quality I got 30 years ago.

Always have multiple ways to cook for SHTF. I’ve got a rocket stove, butane stove, and solar stove. Also have multiple ways to filter water and make fire.

Good thinking

Another benefit of cooking with these "limitations" is that you end up learning recipes and techniques to be more efficient or fast. One pot pastas, for example, are great because you only use one burner and less water for cleaning (but I'm not sure how "gas efficient" these recipes are). Also, these recipes are great to use fresh foods when the power is down and you don't want them to spoil.

I have a friend who is teaching himself about foraging and I asked him how he would cook if the power went off for a few days in the winter. Sometimes the right question at the right time can change everything. He had never thought about it before and it opened up a new area to prep for.

Funny he said that the butane fuel is hard to find locally. I also live in Seattle and I found some left next to our dumpster by someone who moved or decided that they needed to ditch 4 full cans. Now I’m thinking of actually getting the stove. I found some locally, literally.

You need a 'fraidy hole...er, underground shelter. When midwestern tornados hit, get down. Way down.

I would like to add the fact that different fuel types work differently in cold weather. Butane canisters are really bad for bug out in freezing temperatures as once your below freezing is probably won't work but if used indoors it is very good, quiet and plenty powerful. Propane is great in most situations as temps don't effect performance unless you are way colder than 0° F. I would consider white or unleaded gas stove as you can use automotive gas and runs in about any temp range you may experience.

For those living in the country, they can always practice what people did several hundred years ago, have a central cooking stove . They used to keep these wood stoves burning all day, they cook on it and it produced hot water. The heat given out also heat most of the house. You do have to prepare fire wood in advance.

For spirit stoves (eg. Trangia) I recommend Bio-Ethanol, instead of Methylated Spirits or Denatured Alcohol. Bio-Ethanol is odourless, produced no noticeable smell when burned, and doesn't soot up your pans.

Well done on the info. I happen to have both of those stoves . My single burner isn’t Coleman but my propane stove is and I have the carry case for it. I have had my Coleman stove for about 20 years and it still works. So I don’t have to worry about cooking during an emergency situation. I also have a camp oven that works well with it. My daughter also just got me the Big Buddy Heater for my birthday. So I am covered for cooking and heat for the winter months. I prefer an 8 ft hose for the heater and use a 20lb tank it will last for about a month on low and will comfortably heat a room and is good for indoors and outdoors. This is a good product for SHTF and it will be going with me if I have to bug out. Easy to carry and easy to hook up and use.

I recommend that you include in that Coleman case a: griddle and a Coleman oven. They both fold (are) flat and with a little padding will be kind to your stove.

I appreciate what you shared. I have also included a charcoal and wood stove. The wood/twig stove is especially important as last resort (free fuel).

I have been buying the compact fold-able one pound bottle bases so I can use them on the very small stoves that started showing up for hikers. They are built well for the low prices out there.

We have always had the Coleman two burner camp stove. It’s what we use to make coffee when the power goes out. It’s easy to use and store. The wood stove inside our house is good for warming up already cooked food. Prepare at least one meal in advance of bad weather.

Thanks so much, I needed this video last week. Was camping off the grid and this info would have come in so handy. You are the BEST! Now I know what to get and how to use it for the next off the grid camp.

Its 2021, im in Texas and the epic snow storm that knocked out our power grids just ended. That lil Butane camp stove is what i had with several cans of butane prepped back. It was not only what i used to cook with but it kept me warm since I had no heater for 4 days.... Thanking God I had it and wishing I had a Mr.Buddy heater.... buying one of those now.

Excellent and well-balanced review. I chose exactly the same options for my family (except I shelled out for a genuine Pocket Rocket). I figure when you are down to your last option, it had better be a good one.

I have multiple stoves. Some are cannister like the Pocket Rocket and Jet Boil while others are biofuel like Solo and Kelly Kettle Stove as well as alcohol stoves. I like the idea of having both propane AND butane powered stoves and will consider adding to my inventory!

We had no electricity, heat or hot water during that time (it was early February = dead of winter with 2 feet of snow & snow drifts of 4,6 or 8 feet). All we had was a small ornamental fireplace in the living room for heat & for cooking. After that we made sure we had a decent propane BBQ Grill and a good stockpile of firewood just in case it happened again! People that live in hurricane zones should also make similar preparations for the late Summer and Fall months as well. Thanks again for spreading the word!

Thank you so much for this video, learned a lot , didn't know how much fuel I would need and the length of time they'll last so ur information was outstanding! I got a one burner Colman stove (butane), a collapsible small one (propane), got a small charcoal grill and some alcohol cans and candles for cooking and heat but I didn't know the amount of fuel for them, now I know!

I used those butane instastart back when I drove truck long haul. They were great. I had a microwave in the truck but I like using those stoves for making fried eggs and such.

I go with liquid fuel. I have both a one burner and two burner Coleman white gas stoves. The one burner model is a multifuel stove. It can burn unleaded gas and K1 kerosene in a pinch. Having several options for fuel is important in a SHTF situation.

It's the stove I use in my tiny house. It's the same style, and same price, as the Coleman. Cans are $5/four cans, so, $1.25 each, at any Asian grocery. They last me quite a while, since I use my electric pressure cooker for much of my cooking these days.

I have both the green Coleman classic stove and the little butane stove,both are great and priced right,I mainly use the butane one for my stovetop coffee maker and does the job perfect.

7:15 I've got one of those tiny backpacking stoves (the one in the orange plastic box), and I love it. Weighing just 4.05 oz, including the box, they're fantastic for backpacking, and even have piezo ignition. Available for around £10 (I paid £5-11 in 2013), they work great.

These were very helpful tips! I do have a question though, for folks who are renters and do not have the space to store propane tanks, where is a safe space to store the smaller cans of butane? I read we shouldn't keep them indoors (or in basements)

Thank you! Our little Coleman party propane grill melted last year camping lol, parts of it were plastic. I think I’ll go with the classic Coleman folding 2 burner stove. We also have our home gas grill for emergencies, and the little Etekcity folding stove.

All of your recommendations were very, very good ones. I enjoyed watching this and literally agreeing with your choices. I personally collect different camping/backpacking stoves as a decades long hobby. The one addional stove I would suggest is the EVERNEW alcohol burner. Mainly because it does not need a separate pot support to be used. You simply put your pot directly on the top of it because of the double row of flame holes. Of course, a Trangia Stormcooker T27 or T25 is also the more advanced option if a full-on cooking kit is an optional consideration. Again, very good video and your suggestions are definitely spot-on!

We have two Coleman stoves. Came in handy after power loss due to a hurricane. It's easy to get propane, but too many people wait till it's late. I'd advise anyone to buy it a month before hurricane or tornado season. Use it and replace and get at least two tanks. Forget relying on firewood or charcoal. Propane tanks are easy to store and if they get wet your propane is not affected.

Wow, so many options! I think I do need a couple of those hoses, Last time I tried to grill, all of my propane leaked out by the next day, and yes I turned it off ♥

I stupidly got rid of a good Colman propane stove in a trade for some ammo. I am going to look into getting another. Good video. It reminded me of my priorities. Thanks.

For emergency domestic use (where size and weight isn't a concern) I prefer the flat, box type stoves, like the Coleman Instastart one you showed. You can even get a double burner one. They're very stable, have an excellent pan holder (not unlike that on a domestic stove top), and the butane cannisters are cheap (about £1 a piece in a multi-pack), and available pretty much anywhere.

I love those dual fuel stoves. they are really smart. But in Australia you cannot store LPG/Propane in doors. It's heavier than air and therefore accumulates and ends up as a potential bomb. Butane however is lighter than air and is way hotter. So that would be my preferred fuel. I would only use Propane if nothing else was available. Butane canisters are usually available in any food or camping store and definitely available in the likes of Home Depot, Harbour Freight or Walmart.

You can also use the Barocook, Magic Cook, the Yabul, or the Hydroheat systems if you want to cook without fire, gas, or electricity. They all use a double boiler system, in which you pour water into the first pan, activate a heating pack, and then set the second pan on top. You place the food into the second pan once the heating pack has the water nice and hot. It won't get it to boiling, so no purifying water, and it won't cook raw meat or anything like that, but it's a good backup system if you lose all three utilities at once. Edit: Also, Sternos are great for cooking indoors. I got a two pack at Walmart for about $5. You can pair them with the Evernew Alcohol Stove Cross Stand, which is a stand made for their alcohol stoves but it works with other brands and with Sterno cans. There's also a DIY off-grid oven project you can do if you like that sort of thing. Just gut a toaster oven (not a microwave oven) of its heating elements, put a heating stone (like those that are put into bread baskets to keep the bread warm) into the top, add tealights, and voila! You have an off-grid oven! Thebusybhomemaker.com has more detailed instructions if you want to do that.

Far out! Thank you for a great demonstration!!

I also have a Pocket Rocket for getting water to a super fast boil, and a really neat little 'Stick Stove ' for when we're down to sticks + wood pellets.

Don't forget the matches and lighters ... and some Vaseline drenched cotton balls. Can't have enough back up stove choices! ; )

If there are Asian stores in or near your area, then you could probably find butane cans for half the price you're paying. They also sell stoves very (very, very) similar to the Coleman one. By the way, this whole system, including the stove and butane cans, was invented in Japan and/or Korea, which is why the butane cans are made in Korea. The Coleman stove is merely one of the knockoffs of the original Asian stoves (with customized markings, of course), as it's not as though Coleman invented this system.

Look for Coleman stoves at garage sales. If you find a white gas stove, Coleman makes a conversion kit to change to Propane. They also make hose adapters so you can connect to your 20# propane tanks.

My backup stove is a Solo that uses anything combustible. Small twigs, leaves, or a charcoal briquet. No failure possibility except running out of wood and charcoal. Not likely; I have lots. And I live next to a national forest, LOL! When it comes to food, think "warming up a can of something", not cooking raw from scratch. Less fuel wasted, faster, and much, much easier. The longest I had to sit out the loss of power, water, and sewer was 5 days. I have a bedside commode for sewer/water supply loss. I consider that a necessity, too. 😁

Thanks a bunch, Tyler! I see those Butane stoves used in restaurants and by chefs all the time. I have a lot of faith in them. :)

Butane fuel can be had at a Oriental supermarket. They sell these including the stoves as day long.

At thrift stores or garage sales, you can get a propane or butane stove for $5-10 dollars.

Fantastic vid, great ideas on having back up.

There is no need to rotate through Propane and Butane fuels at the rate you mention. Propane has an indefinite shelf life if stored properly. Butane and Coleman fuel can last years unopened. Just buy the fuel and write the date of purchase on them. I have new old stock propane cylinders that are 40 years old. They still work great.

Some of those stoves are so darn heavy the best use for them is for being stored in a closet until a power outage. Those Coleman stoves are cheap brand new at Wal Mart and cheaper than clean fill dirt on craigslist or letgo. The biggest plus about propane, canister fuels in general, is that it will not go bad as long as the container it is stored in remains sealed. I like liquid fuel because I use my stoves below freezing a lot, but gas canister stoves have better shelf-life and are more safe for the average person. I have a cousin who uses canister stoves because he knows he's too absent minded to be messing with white gas.

Nice video. I agree with almost everything you say here. The average person would absolutely be best served by small gas stoves of the types you mentioned. As far as rotating the fuel... this may not be necessary. The propane and butane have been in the ground for sixty million years give or take. If the canisters are starting to rust due their storage environment that is a different story. I would assume that the fuel is stored in a climate controlled yet safe location. The amount of fuel here is considerable and would be quite hazardous in a structure fire. Another thing that I would suggest to add versatility to your system would be a couple of adapters. Gworks makes an adapter that allows one to connect two of the camping butane together allowing the user to consolidate fuel. Gworks also makes an adapter from the food service cans to the camping cans. Alone this would let you use the pocket rocket on the food service can. If you combine the two adapters you can refill the camping cans with straight butane. There is a propane adapter called the maccoupler that allows you to refill the small coleman propane cans with the 20-30lb tanks. Once again thanks for the video!

Very good tips. Thanks for this.

What usually happens with a new canister is that after awhile, the canister will get too cold to vaporize and you'll get a weak flame. This exacerbate during winter time. I've switched over to dual fuel butane burner. It comes with an adapter for 1lb propane bottle and I've stopped using butane canister altogether. I also purchased a 20lb to 1lb adapter to refuel the 1lb bottles for it. I also own the 1lb top burner with the base attachment as mentioned in the video. It puts out a stronger flame but it's without an igniter so it has sits on the storage. I also own a wood burner from silverfire. As well as table top charcoal grill. If you run out of propane, use the charcoal, when that runs out, gather some fallen dead wood... Have used all three in past to boil, grill, fried...

Yeah butane starts to have trouble vaporising around 45° and completely stops around 35° if I'm not mistaken. It's good to keep that in mind.

Thank you for sharing!

Outstanding info, thanks.
