We have a propane fired stove to cook on and the wood burning stove for heat so we can last several days without power. But I miss the internet a lot and must turn to reading books and old newspapers.

My option for such occasions is a fireplace with gas logs, powered by the local underground natural gas distribution system. My wife and I insisted on this option after living through an ice storm at the end of January 1951 at which time fallen, ice covered, branches caused a week-long power outage in Mississippi and Tennessee.? We had been married for a week, and were living in temporary college housing that had been provided for returning veterans from WWII.? Fortunately, we had a kerosene heater and a gasoline cook stove in the converted trailer. Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA
