It was 3 days and a little bit. It just got colder and colder, until
I coudlnt' take it anymore. It wasn't the dead of winter, just
winter, and Baltimore can have 40 or 50 degrees in the daytime, though
I dont' remember details. It was certainly fine the first day, and
cool the second I suppose. I would normally boil water to raise the
humidity, but my stove is electric too unfortunately. I'm sure I
lasted until the 3rd day but I think it was the fourth.

My four day power cut, I used burners on the
stove. I know to watch for schines of msentalll
confyuuression. I'm ferpectly nermal. In all regartsl. Nouffing wrong, eer.

Turn off the gas, quick!

I had a 22 hour power outage less than a month ago, because of ice
bringing down some main wires. It was around 20 deg outside. I have one
of those Mr. Heaters that I use for camping. I got it out of the garage,
and hooked that up to a 20LB propane tank and got heat. I was just going
to drive to town to buy a spare propane tank, when the power came back
on. So I did not have to drive to town on icy roads. The next day I got
another tank anyhow. If I dont need it at home, I'll need ut when I go
camping....

I have a little propane heater, but I think it's really for 49 degree
nights in the woods in a tent, not even for one room when it's 30 out.
I didn't even think of using it. It has frightening warnings about
opening the window so you don't die.

Hmm. one model of your says
Mr. Heater Little Buddy Propane Heater
Item # 411148
Kicks out 3,800 BTU per hour for 5.6 hrs.

That does seem like a lot. I forget what my furnace does.

Most furnaces are 50,000BTU and up. A few of the mobile home units are
as small as 25000 or 30000BTU

The bigger one for $129 says
Storage space houses a spare 1-lb. cylinder
Operates from 1-lb. cylinder
Connects to a 20-lb. cylinder
Two heat settings: 6,000 and 12,000 BTU/hr.
Tip over and low oxygen safety shut-off

Is that low oxygen for the flame or for me? And does it really know?
How?

Hmm. I have a 20 pound tank on the grill outside, and a spare on the
other grill.
