Hooked up to my gas grill's bottle in the basement, it keeps the upstairs tolerably warm... but more importantly, it keeps the pipes in the basement from freezing. Moreover, I got it for 1/3 price at Lowe's because it was a display model - no box, no gas hose. Dayton was happy to send me a replacement at no cost, though. (Did someone say "It's dangerous to operate a propane burner in the house!"? Not really; how many people have propane or NG stoves?)

Did you know that if a tree falls over in your yard, unless it hits your house you have to pay for its removal, because fallen trees that don't hit the house aren't covered by homeowners insurance? That's a not-nifty tip. Thank goodness for no falling trees!

We make heaters and cookstoves that run on diesel and can be used with no elecrticity (Dickinson, Vancouver. It seemed the whole Pacific Northwest got a taste of what it is like not connected to a grid. Cold and uncomfortable. (unless you are correctly set up) Thanks for warming us up.

The idea comes from World War 2 (I think) when familes would have meatless tuesdays to support teh war effort.

My power went out at about 5:00, before I could nuke my wonderful dinner :). Instead, I went down to McGrath's Fish House and had a bowl of chowder and a brew. Once I got back home I found all my candles and sat in front of my gas fireplace to organize some photos I had printed for family Christmas presents. No trees came down for me either, phew.

Also charged up the battery on the portable DVD player. We also made sure we had gas for the generator. Here at Generator Central (aka "Whidbey Island") we are hoping to over-consume energy again soon. ;) When I heard the storm was coming, I filled up my car’s gas tank, made sure I had microwavable food (because we have a generator we can the microwave) and made sure we had plenty of water and flashlight/headlamp/MP3 player batteries on hand.
