@IPEdmonton Another great reason for a pellet stove!
The #Wiseway is the best looking gravity fed #PelletStove, and it would be great for providing constant heat in a power outage, but it doesn't have a way to heat food or water which seems like the next most important thing we'd want in a winter emergency. I'm also not a huge fan of the fact that it needs a propane torch to get started.
This is the only gravity-fed #PelletStove I can find that allows you to cook on top, and it looks more like something you'd find in an industrial shop than a living room, and it does not exactly match my wife's aesthetic.

Annoying how the electrical system in a #PelletStove is merely there to drop pellets into the fire like clockwork, but there are no pellet stoves for sale just just use actual #clockwork.
Why can't I just crank a handle to tighten a spring or raise a weight and have an escapement tick away dropping pellets as it goes?
