Posts Tagged ‘Cooking without power’

I’ve been doing heaps of research on alternate cooking sources lately and one product that came up repeatedly was the Cobb Oven. Many people had bought it for the emergency kit and camping, but a sizable number of people will use it exclusively to cook certain dishes.

It appeals to me because its versatile and very user friendly. It drains fats, can be used on many surfaces and is very portable. I’ll definitely be buying one, even if it takes a short while to save up the $200 required.

Weber offer a great range of BBQ’s that would be very useful in a powerless situation. Many run off gas, but you can also buy ones that use Charcoal.

I found two products that would suit me as a single person. They are the products called “Go Anywhere” or the “Smokey Joe.”

It you have a stockpile of heat beads or similar, you could probably use this as an alternate cooking source during an emergency or power outage. They are both under $120 and I intend to get one for my emergency kit, as well as to use for fun.
