Cooking Without Power

This was printed in today's ward bulletin. I'll add something after.

"Disruption of gas and/or electrical power means that most stoves will be out of commission. The most common alternative is a propane BBQ. Ensure that you have a second bottle of propane safely stored for backup. Or store wood, especially if you have a wood burning fireplace. You can cook with a Dutch oven in your fireplace, or with briquettes outside. NEVER BURN BRIQUETTES INSIDE. Attend a lesson on Dutch oven cooking. There are other fuel sources that can be stored safely (e.g. wet fire fuel), but realistically a BBQ and a Dutch oven will get you through."

On the warning of briquette use indoors, this is largely due to the amount of carbon monoxide that they can produce. For more information, check out the following link: http://www.ehow.com/info_8122802_dangers-charcoal-briquettes.html
