ohiofarmer 3,265 #2 Posted October 30, 2019 One like that got us through the Blizzaard of 1976. Gil whitney of WHIO warned us about this dangerous storm days before it came. We had plenty of time to lay food in and I cleaned out an extra bay in the garage to keep all the vehicles dry. We had a freezer in the basement, and when the power was off for days, the meat inside stayed nice. The top of that little stove was perfect for bacon and eggs or would fry a hamburger in about a half an hour. We were snowbound for a week. One way traffic through the high drifts for another week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,077 #3 Posted October 30, 2019 Be sure to have a Carbon-Monoxide Detector in the area where the heater is used. We used one to warm our house while building it and doing interior painting. Tight buildings with no drafts will trap the CO while consuming oxygen and could kill you. I had one occasion where the detector went off and while opening the windows in that room I did feel a bit light headed, the detector probably saved our lives. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snow bound for a week?.... Plenty of bacon and eggs?.... No traffic to deal with?.... PRICLESS!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
