Something I did for a camp stove was buy a camp grill. Mine is a Grill 2 Go We had a regular backyard grill and lack of space in the garage made me store it outside and something built a nest in side one of the burners and I didn't know it and it caught fire. Instead of rebuilding it or replacing it with a normal grill we bought this little one and I store it in the garage on a shelf. I have some of those little 1lv tanks and one 1lb tank will last about 6 meals cooking steak. Then I bought the adapter hose and use the 20lb tank from our old grill so we have many months worth of propane for it. Since its small it cooks pretty efficiently. If we loose power I just sit the grill out on the back porch and we cook out. I've cooked out in the rain or snow by sitting the grill under the overhang in front of the garage door and stood inside the garage while it cooked. Every now and then we stick it in the back of the truck and go to a park and cook out too.
