A non power dependent auxiliary heating device that runs on a fuel that
you already use is a good back up. Gas wall heaters or floor furnaces

of wadded up newspaper in the bottom to light it.
I had a natural gas floor furnace in one house. No fan. The
thermostat ran off a thermocoupler type device, I think. It looked
