A lot of you asked me for the supply list and the battery sizes. It's all written down in The Blackout Home Manual: one warm room for about $40, a battery you can lift, the right inverter and fuse for your fridge, freezer and CPAP, and every part with its 2026 price. Here it is: <a href="https://westuckerbooks.com/">https://westuckerbooks.com/</a><br>Wes

The pictures are confusing, showing different things. There should be consistency

Yutanpo- a Japanese hot water bottle. The hard one sold on Amazon will hold boiling water. I wrap it up in a flannel shirt and put it under my bed covers. It fascinating how warm the water is the next morning I use that warm water to cook with the next morning. It worked like a charm during a 5 day no electricity ice storm. I heated bricks up on a grill outside then put them in a cast iron and stuck it under my bed. Those bricks and the yutanpo kept me warm as toast when my house was freezing

Why not a can of crisco with a wick stuck in the middle of it, sitting in Dutch oven? with bricks around It - burns long, just saying!

Some of the pictures look like there are more than 10 bricks, and some of them have been cut in half.  Pictures are showing several different ways of arranging the layers, which makes it harder to follow.

That is one huge skillet! My cast iron skillets aren’t that big!

When we camp I bring a large cast iron skillet. Get it hot and wrap in old towel and put at my feet under thick blanket. I'm toasty warm all night!

That has to be a HUGE skillet to accommodate those large bricks.

I use a Dutch oven on three legs. This absolutely works. Improvise... I use soybean food grade oil. Relatively cheap and surprisingly clean burning: 2nd only to very expensive olive oil as to clean burning...

If you have enough bricks, just use a couple on the top also. Just make sure that there are gaps for the exhaust to get out. More bricks means more thermal mass.
