a small generator to keep the freezer going in the event of a short

freezers cope during short power cuts simply by being kept closed.

apparently in Canada, at one point, freezers had a solenoid lock (which
could be overriden manually) to stop you opening the lid/door if there
was a power cut.

Assume that the power cut may be more than an hour or so and I would
really like to eat.....

I have worked out that in a prolonged power cut I can stay warm with the
log burner and even cook on it.

Light from candles or torches.

The freezer is the one thing which has a major time limit.
Three days is usually quoted for a modern freezer if you don't open the
door.
So that is the risk that I am addressing.

Imagining?

Think laterally!
Do you only eat frozen food?
