Do You have a Generator/ Solar Panels? &/or a Wind Mill?

Neither really, portable power stations.

Open flame or hot coals, my favorite form.

With consideration to the "Current Events" in the World, & America, as well as the Weather, the condition of the "Power Grid", etc., etc.,..... I'd invest in a Good Wood Burner.

And, I'd look into some form of Power generation, that would meet all of my needs, with some reserve capacity.

I had Thanksgiving dinner with a family that lives in a huge house. The large main floor was heated solely by an ornate enameled cast iron wood heater (although there is a backup heating system). A slow-moving ceiling fan gently circulated the heat throughout the open floor plan living area. Throughout the four or five hours I was there the heater was fed only three or four pieces of oak firewood. I was amazed at the heat output and the efficiency of the heater (it was cold outside that day). I have an open fireplace as well that heats my whole living area but uses several times as much wood as that heater.

Fireplaces and not efficient heating systems. I love the Russian masonry stove. The brick holds heat for hours after the fire goes out

I've read about them. You build a raging fire for a couple of hours then close it up to retain the heat in the labyrinth of masonry.
