Koffee, have you considered a kerosene heater and lamps? They produce a lot of safe heat.

The best solution is something I've written about in the 1st link in my sig...

You need a battery operated carbon monoxide sensor, but typically it produces less than a standard gas forced air unit. This setup would really have helped the folks with the recent Hurricane in the NE, and we've got ice storm warning coming for the upper North of the USA.

The fuel is wood pellets, but any yard scraps can be burned. Actually that's a misunderstanding. What happens is the scraps release a gas and that's what is being consumed, and therefore it leaves biochar remnants. This then is added to the soil and enriches it. It's an ideal solution overall. Charcoal is very valuable in a collapse, for brushing teeth, for poisoning, for metalurgy, for water purification,etc.

This burns cleanly and can be quickly constructed. It's based upon some work being done to mass produce these in 3rd world countries. That's called the LuciaStove.


A generator needs a cutoff switch to prevent generating electricity and then incoming electricity. Generators are LOUD. There frequently is theft of generators and fuel in a disaster. That must be expected in a collapse.
