We have two wood stoves for heat, one on lower level and one on upper, for really cold days. We live on an island in Northern Ontario, so no natural gas and power can go out for extended periods. There is nothing better than wood heat. Throw a cast iron Dutch Oven on the stove in the morning with some potatoes and let them roast all day. Yummy. You can always cook cowboy food when the power is out.
We do have electric for backup, if we ever decide to go away for a few days, but why leave paradise?
