Hi from Jodi and Julie!
It's a question we get all the time. "How would you cook without power?" With the recent natural disasters, we have been getting asked that question more and more frequently. In today's email we wanted to summarize a lot of important powerless cooking info so you can make your powerless cooking plan come together. Make sure you read the whole email because through out the text there are links handouts, tutorials, videos and more!
FIRST: The short answer... We would use our Sun Oven as much as we possibly could and then rely on our other options that require fuel when we can't use our Sun Oven.
Why is that? With a Sun Oven you have free, renewable energy. You can even use it in the winter. As long as there is enough sunlight to cast a shadow, you can use your Sun Oven.
We understand that a Sun Oven is an investment and you may want to learn more about it before investing in one. That's why we are inviting you to a free webinar to learn more about Sun Ovens. The webinar will also feature a deal on the Sun Oven. Even if you can't come that night, BE SURE to register for it so you can watch it later and still take advantage of the education and offer.

Now, onto the powerless cooking info... This is not an ALL encompassing list but it contains some of our favorite tried and true tools and ideas.
Powerless cooking fuels:
There are a variety of fuels you can use and store. Knowing about the shelf-life and purposes of each of these fuels can help you make a plan for your storage needs. The following handout goes through a few of the most common fuels. Considerations such as the pros, the cons, the shelf-life, 1 month supply and storage limitations are included.
Short-term tools:
These are the kinds of tools that you can make yourself, or purchase for little cost. These are tools that would probably help you get through a short-term powerless emergency, but may not be all that fun to use long term.
Butane stove: Butane stoves are the best! You can use them inside and it's just like cooking on a gas stove. The butane doesn't last forever but it's such a great and inexpensive tool to have.

#10 can stove: This is a good stove to boil water on or cook small pre-made just-add-water meals in.

Cardboard Box Oven: This makes a decent little oven you could cook bread or small meals in. The temperature control isn't great but it works if you're in a bind

Long-term tools:
While these tools will also work for short-term situations, they are useful in situations where you may go without power for longer amounts of times. Some of these tools require more of an investment, however they can be used in everyday cooking, camping, and powerless situations. With each of these tools we have videos and explanations on our site on our Powerless
Cooking page.
