Default No electric power gas furnace

You can get wall mounted heaters from places like Harbor Freight.

I wouldn't want to run a furnace without electric if I could help it.

Was talking to my relatives back east today. They are part of the
2,000,000
people with no electricity in MO and IL. 40 years ago when I lived
there I
had a gas furnace with a 2 stage thermostat that was thermocouple
powered.
It had instructions on how to operate the furnace with no electric
power in
an emergency. As I remember, you would remove the cover to the blower
section, and leave the door to the basement open. The furnace would
function
as an old style gravity hot air gas unit. It only turned on part of
the
burner, but the high temp limit and thermostat still worked. Was
wondering
if any furnaces like that are available now? Tried googling every
description I can think of and can't find anything.
