Everyone has some sort of propane grill or stove, but you won't be doing too much cooking with it indoors.  I found something useful that I already had...... an alcohol burner.  It was in a fondue set I got for my wife.  A few tablespoons of 99% isopropyl alcohol will burn clean and hot for about 30min and you can store tons of rubbing alcohol.

Here is a nice backpacking model I found  http://www.rei.com/product/752671?cm_mmc=cse_yahoo-_-datafeed-_-product-_-na&mr:referralID=91627f92-11a5-11dd-a5f1-000423bb4e95

Stock up on rice, pasta and beans.

Denatured alcohol, not rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol has way too much water in it. Also make sure your alcohol storage containers are airtight, alcohol is very hygroscopic.

other than my propane grill, charcoal grill, and my outdoor brick wood burning stove/grill, i have two camp stoves that i would not hesitate to use indoors in an emergency.

I have a 100 gallon propane take buried in my yard, use for my home cooking stove.  It will last several months.  Power was out for two weeks during the hurricanes of 2004 worked great.

As For Me ,im looking into solar ovens / cookers .  It may take 10 to 15  longer but its free and you can conserve fuel for other things .

here`s one link .

A dual-burner propane stove will work fine indoors, you just need to crack a door and open a window. In the middle of winter the garage becomes the cooking area. The big problem is odors. Everyone within a half-mile smells that hamburger or pot of beans and they follow their noses.

Definition of a troll: Anyone who dares express an opinion at odds with mine.

Yup, the odors from cooking are an invitation, no doubt about it.

I got a two-burner Coleman propane stove that I use for camping and a bunch of disposable containers that I bought for Y2K.  Didn't need 'em then, but they may come in handy if times get hard.  Maybe I oughta invest in more propane - build up a 'war reserve'.

Have you gotten them to actually work? I had a solar weenie roaster a few years ago, and would have starved to death if I had to rely on it.
What kinds of things can you cook well in it?

I cooked a egg on driveway once but was a B itch to scrape off the black top. Think I leave sun cooking alone

That actually sounds like it could have been invented by Mr. Buffett himself....

(  They do work but kinda on the slow side ...alot depends on the strenth of the sun ,shelter from the wind ,and how well insulated the cooker box is and must be oriented as the sun moves .)

but still an alternitive..especially if useing a cast iron pot ...can even open a can of beans and heat right in the can ,  hot dogs will cook pretty fast if lightly coverd with aluminum foil (traps heat ) boy scouts up this way made muffins in a big insulated cooler by removing the top and covering with storm window pane ..inside temp rose to 140 deg and takes about an hour .     Even if it warms left overs it still is a fuel saver ...

Heck, if you are in the south just use your attic.  If the outdoor temp hits 90F my attic will get around 140-150F.  Just installed a power attic vent this spring to help.

We were looking at a 25# propane bottle and figure we might pick one up in the near future.  We have a propane double burner and an old Coleman that uses the go juice (coleman fuel), which we have a few gallons of on hand.  Also have a small backpacking stove that is great at heating water and I have plenty of fuel for it.  Someplace I have a single burner coleman stove that screws onto the propane bottle and we have a few of the bottles too.
