I envy your granma's wood stove. This house had a wood stove for heating, but when my Dad injured his back and was unable to chop wood, my parents had it switched to propane, Fortunately, it doesn't require electricity to ignite, so we've still got heat during an outtage, But... boy, we saw a wood cookstove not to long ago at our local thrift/antique/junkyard store and I was sorely tempted! Thanks, Kitchenmage! Yeah, those apocalyptic sunsets... nuclear fallout, volcano, Magneto's destruction of the ionosphere... all so darn pretty. :-) Thanks, B’gina! I envy your granma’s wood stove.

I always have in the back of my mind that, in a pinch, when the gas in the grill runs out \;+), that I could go over to my grandparents old house and use the wood stove. My grandmother used it for heat, even after central heating was put in. And she preferred cooking on it to cooking on the new electric stove my uncle bought her. The electric stove is gone now, and I've stayed there, cooking on the wood stove for as long as a week at a time, so it's do-able. Of course, there's the matter of what would we cook. Yes, your idea is a good one. I don't think many of us realize just what bad shape we'd be in if we couldn't go out for food, and other parts of the infrastructure failed us. Go for it!
