cooking after power down.

[BDG]

My camping hob is the type that goes on top of the bottle, could be used anywhere, on the dining table with no protection if I wanted.

If the electricity was off in my house and I wanted to boil some water or heat something, I would use the gas hob on my cooker

However, I think the question is along the lines of 'what if the normal is not there'.

Well, if I had a stove that got hot on the bottom, I would out it on top of the hobs on the cooker - they get hot now, they would not have a problem having a stove on. If I had electric or induction hobs put an oven tray on top of them and the stove.

No stove? Protect hob with upturned baking tray, put another baking tray on top of that and make a small fire in it. Got plenty of charcoal. If I was going down that route, I would try keeping it small but keeping it going all day so I was not having to faff around geting a fire going when I wanted a cup of tea, hot water etc and also keep my largest pan full of water on it so was always a reserve of warm / hot water.
