You can get single burner gas stoves at the asian market and amazon. They take Butane and work really well (including for things like Sukiyaki and fondue), and power outages too.
I have the same exact one, it's technically a heater. The brand is Duraflame. It works great. You can control the temperature, flame brightness, and it has a timer! ��
Here it is on Amazon: DuraFlame Electric Fireplace

Aww thank you so much :) I used this gas one you can find from Amazon:
Gas ONE GS-1000 7,650 BTU Portable Butane Gas Stove Automatic Ignition with Carrying Case, CSA Listed https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MYGMO6M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_PWKC9CGV6H8RWTC15FH6
I'd guess it's used on a tabletop butane stove for cook at the table meals popular in some Asian households. But it doesn't look like any I've seen, doesn't look too functional, so maybe it's one of those 'as seen on TV' deals or might be something else.
Not sure what you mean, but I have two single-burner butane camp stoves and a boatload of butane. I use them every once in a while to cook just to make sure they're in good working order. Would like a dual fuel version eventually. I believe this is what I have: https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Butane-Stove-Carrying-Listed/dp/B001TF8UY8/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=butane+stove&qid=1610201133&sprefix=butane+s&sr=8-5
Also of note, our WalMart has been selling out of butane rather quickly lately. Over the summer I just figured it was camping. Now I suspect prepping as well. I alternate buying the Coleman brand and the Gas One brand wherever I happen to run across it.
Cooking - Butane burner, no home should be without one. They're like $20 and the fuel is cheap to be used for a night or so. If you have a local asian supermaket, pick one up! If you don't amazon is your friend.
This... this kind of takes care of cooking.
I'm sure that it doesn't need to be said, but candles are a thing that every household should have. It's not going to heat up a space dramatically, but in the cold of winter, every little bit helps.

and... well, you have solar running around, a solar powered refrigerator/freezer could help offset food storage in the long term and takes the worry out of charging your communication tools like cellphones and what not. That and provides lights, which is always helpful!
I think they're the same thing. Both of them appear to be this stove:

I have one. It's excellent. You can get the fuel at Walmart now, but Asian supermarkets have it cheaper (like $1 a can). I have one and two burner Coleman gasoline stoves, and two propane stoves, but I use the butane for most tasks most of the time. It's just so easy.
It has one serious drawback. When it's cold it won't work. Propane has that problem too, but not as bad. Like if it's 40F outside you probably can't use butane, and even at 50F it doesn't work well. If you're going to be camping in the cold it's hard to beat gasoline for stoves.
I like to keep something like this around. ① You can keep warm, cook (esp. hotpots), or griddle at the table. ② I have used mine during extended power outages to keep the spice (caffeine, you know) flowing. ③ I took it car camping, too.

Got this one burner last May and retired our Coleman 2 burner. Will never go back. It’s just two of us most of the time and one burner is enough. If we ever needed two I’d just get a second one. I like that it can be propane or butane. Has excellent temp control.
This, 100%.
Even a perfectly functioning stove and LPG system can fail unexpectedly. You can also run out of propane.
A little butane stove and 2-3 butane canisters can make life so much more pleasant if anything goes wrong with the main cooking system. They take up little space and can be placed atop an already gimballed main stove. The Iwatani would be a good choice, but you can also find cheap alternatives for $20-30.
They're also handy for picnics and camping. :)
These are great, fuel efficient and canisters are available just about everywhere. Walmart had the stove for less than $20 https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08WTNVPB7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_CX8PQZ3PT27VZ4D7FBVY
portable stove like this: https://www.amazon.com/Gas-GS-1000G-Portable-Butane-Stove/dp/B08WTNVPB7/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=portable+stove&qid=1657622672&sr=8-3
butane canister.
1 skillet, 1 pot.
small cooler, ice.
1 knife, 1 fork, makeshift cutting board. paper plates.
1 bag of mixed greens.
bread, peanut butter, jelly.
rice, cook it in the pot, put it in the cooler.
1 pound of ground beef a day should run you less than 10 dollars, cook it all the way put it in any container place it in the cooler.
when hungry for a big meal, mix the rice, greens, cooked meat in the skillet.
​
Park your car at a park in wealthy or middle class neighborhood at night, sleep by your knife. Don't be paranoid but be vigilant of homeless people, look around first if anyone is watching you, usually no one cares and chances are you'll be fine, i've slept in my van for a year straight and never have been bothered. Also you'll be surprised to find that many people are doing the same as you, don't bother them and they wont bother you. Expect to be woken up early by street noise. It's always good to limit sleeping time during the night and take naps during the day. Take good care of your vehicle, always warm your engine up check oil water tires regularly.
For truck camping, I recommend a simple 1 burner propane damp stove, like this one for approx. $24.
It's a little on the heavy side for backpacking, but especially good for vehicle camping, offering more stability than most backpacking stoves, are virtually bulletproof.
The butane canisters also only cost about $2-3, which is also whole lot cheaper than the isobutane canisters used by most backpacking stoves.
You could probably find one at a Walmart even cheaper.
A simple single burner camp stove + propane tank will fit anywhere you can stick a shoebox. Under the bed, closet, etc.
My inner prepper wanted me to chime in :D
Here's one cheap example: https://www.amazon.com/Gas-GS-1000G-Portable-Butane-Stove/dp/B08WTNVPB7
They make even smaller ones for backpacking.
You can just buy a cheap under $20 butane burner and start charcoal in a chimney. The butane burner is also very useful for many other things like cooking sauces etc. They can likely be found for very cheap at large asian grocery stores.
Butane camp stove or for a little more, one that will run on either butane or propane
I have 2 of these I bought locally at an Asian grocery. You can cook for days on one canister.
You might consider a butane camp stove for cooking. Butane is safer than propane for use indoors. Some models can use either butane or propane.
You can buy a little butane burner off Amazon for like $20, they actually cook meat really well
I use mine all the time, my wife is vegetarian and hates when I cook meat lol
We use a butane stove like this when my wife makes hotpot.
GAS ONE NEW 10,000 BTU CSA List Portable Butane Gas Stove with Carrying Case CSA Listed https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B001TF8UY8/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_navT_g_G9VTHXDPABVH2YB67M63
Agreed. Like this. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08WTNVPB7 They are everywhere (particularly Asian grocery stores) and the canisters are cheap. Go get a pot and utensils cheap from a Thrift Store and you are up and running.
Get a single burner, dual fuel stove. As an electric kettle uses a lot of power and is an inefficient use of that power. I love my [Gas ONE GS-3900P New Dual Fuel Propane or Butane Portable Stove] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N1RO9WG Super safe and durable and gives fuel options.
Also I have done Many cross country trips - in all seasons - and have usually free camped in truck stops and rest areas with zero issues (other than a bit of noise at truck stops) both are typically safe and monitored to some degree.
When doing thousands of miles, I usually plan on a ‘real campground’ stop about midway to have access to hookups and laundry and maybe order a pizza - 😎
They sell these mini Woodfire stoves on Amazon for 150 bucks. Just get the right metal pieces to direct the smoke out of your window.
If you want cheap stove that would supports a grill you can always just grab those Asian butane stove. Should be around 20-30 bucks at your local Asian market.
I’ve had it for a year now. This is a corner in my bedroom. The heating element keeps the whole room nice and toasty in the winter. It has a temperature gauge you can set. I use the flame effect year round for the ambience. 10/10.
I use this one:
Guide Gear Outdoor Wood Stove https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0155324VO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_K16KTXE41MGQ9G15HAQK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
It’s possibly the smallest legit wood stove I’ve ever seen and I use it for my 100sq ft uninsulated cabin and it’ll still sweat you out. The downside is you can’t put anything large in it to burn all night, but it’ll keep you decently warm till morning. There’s a lot of options out there tho.
The only downside to this model is the flue is an awkward size/wall thickness and I had to make a custom collar to mate up with the standard chimney flue pipe I could get at Lowes.
Butane Stoves: <strong>https://www.amazon.com/Gas-GS-1000G-Portable-Butane-Stove/dp/B08WTNVPB7/</strong>
This is an amazon example, but a quick jaunt to your local Asian market usually has these with a ton of smaller canisters you can stock a few for. Small, cheap, and work well for cooking, although double check your ventilation status AND DON'T USE IT TO HEAT UP A SPACE.
Now you can boil water, cook, and have a korean BBQ (with the proper attachment) wherever you want!
I love my Mini, and I've set up a roasting cart in the garage I can wheel around, all set up and ready to go.
For heat, I started on the kitchen stove but my wife didn't like the smell, so I moved to the garage and bought a Gas One GS-3900P Dual Fuel stove. I use a large propane external tank that I can swap with my BBQ. https://www.amazon.com/GS-3900P-Portable-Convenient-Carrying-Powerful/dp/B01N1RO9WG
I roast in my garage.
For a 200g green coffee batch, I typically find roast times to City+ to be around 10 minutes, maybe 12 depending on the bean. I drop the bean charge at 175c using the analog thermometer. I am thinking of getting a digital thermocouple.
For cooling, I have an Ikea stainless sieve (cheap) that I drop the beans into and use a box fan to blow off the chaff. I then dump them on a cookie sheet in front of the box fan to cool.
