We lost power for nearly 5 days a few years ago, and made stew on top of the woodstove. 'Course a Coleman stove worked well too :) .-= Beau´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FoxHavenJournal/~3/qFMzidAOV3I/" rel="nofollow">Remembering How Life Happens</a> =-.

Our old farmhouse is lacking on insulation too. We have a couple portable heaters we use occassionally in addition to the wood stove. .-= Kim´s last blog ..<a href="http://achornfarm.blogspot.com/2010/02/in-barn.html" rel="nofollow">In the barn</a> =-.

They used to find me sleep walking and sitting with a blanket on the register. Brings back warm memories of family. We had a floor register for heat in our apartment as a kid.

Take a tunafish can and clean it well. Cut some cardboard strips to a height just below the rim and roll them up until they fit into the can snugly but not tight. Melt some parafin or bees wax and fill the can almost to the top of the cardboard. Let cool and harden completely. To light just set the cardboard on fire. This will burn for hours. To extinguish just place a larger can over the top. It can be reused until all of the wax and carboard is gone. .-= Gary Dillon´s last blog ..<a href="http://toooldcripples.blogspot.com/2010/01/what-load-of-crap.html" rel="nofollow">What a Load of Crap</a> =-.
