The oven/stove top might be best off propane? That's what I
gathered from an off-grid group. I was reading up on solar
then (later added as many panels as my roof could work in
effectively and now my 2,000sqft house gifts me with small
bills about 3 months in summer and 3 in winter when the days
are shortest. Collectively I get 92% a year of my electric
needs from solar and SRECS (pay back) almost equals those
small bills.

We have a convection oven and convection cooking top, as well
as the microwave. Then there is also a set of gas burners over
the oven. If at all possible, we use the electric stuff. Not
sure we've even used the gas grill inside yet. Better to save
the gas for hot water when needed. You gotta pick up to get
that refilled unless you have a system for using additional
bottles.

Good thought to minimize gas use when possible. Unfortunately,
our trailer has only gas burners. We do use the microwave a
lot. On the other hand, when flatspotting, the microwave is
only going to be available when I have the generator going. In
any case, electricity will be the limiting resource for us then.

Among my storm supplies is a single burner propane unit. Takes small cannisters (about same size as most spray cans of air
freshener/lysol/scrubbing bubbles etc.).

OOOHHH Meamie!

It's all in jest of her efforts at eliminating me. She's a great cook
and I enjoy all her meals. The only question is how much poison she is
going to add to my plate. ;-)

For that, you have to read another RV simple dinner!

1lb ground beef
1 can black beans (can be anytype, I just like black beans)
1 can diced tomatoes (fire roasted tonight)
1 can V8 or other tomato juice you like (but NOT Clamato)
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp medium chile powder
(I actually used a Cuban spice blend)

Cook all togther on low, breaking up the beef as you go along. My beef
was frozen so nibbled it down as it low simmered until it was all mixed
in.

Ricemaker in use, doing Jasmine tonight.
2/3 c dry rice
1 1/3 cup water

Serve the mix on rice with a salad.

That sounds good, but if I'm out camping and I got a pound of ground
beef, we're probably going to have a burger. 8-0
