We lost power for 17 days after Hurricane Ike.....and we were north of Houston.
We had a propane grill, so we could cook. We ran our generator a few hours in the morning and a few hours in the night.....so we were able to save the food. Did not have enough fuel to run it full time.
The only fuel we had was in our suburban.....a full 40 gallon tank. Everything was without power, even the gas stations.
A number of very large trees came down but fortunately we did not have major house damage.
During recent remodeling at our house, we ran into delays caused by ‘change orders’ from my wife ;-)
We cooked on a two burner camping stove for nearly 5 weeks on one tank of propane. We *DO* have the adapter to attach our camp stove to a BBQ tank.
How did you fuel the generator? Stored or from the vehicle?
