Food for thought: The variable value of our preps.

[Lightspeed]

MB: I see the confusion. We stock the coal specifically to fuel the CH furnace, but it can be used very effectively on out muli-fuel stove. The four year value was based on " subsistence cooking and a little heating" on that stove. Subsistence is key here.

In addition we have a large wood store containing many years worth of fully seasoned fuel, so we're not 100% dependent on coal. Coal does have the advantage of much longer burn times though.
