Food for thought: The variable value of our preps.

[Pete Grey]

We live in a bungalow with gas central heating and have a “little wenlock” multi fuel stove which when well stoked up will heat the whole house and cut out the heating. We normally burn “stoveheat premium” smokeless fuel, last winter we used 30 25kg sacks.

I’ve never thought much about interruptions to the fuel supply chain, we normally order 40 sacks each time, this gives us some discount and does build up a stock, like any other prep fuel needs to be stored dry and secure,

If we are to store more we will need another shed, if we stock an extra 40 sacks with care it could stretch to 3 years, then we will to burn wood. Another shed would be useful as it would free up workshop space.
