Thanks for the tips. My parents took my kids garage sale-ing last spring and picked up 3 Coleman lanterns and a Coleman fuel stove for $1 a piece. I have used the lanterns when camping and now have an extra stove. The lanterns were propane. I use the stove on the patio often so I don't stink up the house with bacon. I have gotten pretty good at cooking with it. Of course, we have had no power outages here for a while, but I will be prepared when we do. I guess if everyone could find an unused Coleman stove for $1 it would make planning and preparing easier.......
