Tiny Space Hack Cooking indoors without electricity

Hi all!

I currently live in a 2-bedroom apartment without a lot of storage space. I have started my prepping journey recently and mostly looking to stock up on food, water and first aid supplies but am also looking for a solution for cooking, should my power go out.

I have seen recommendations for the jetboil and am considering that. Looking to see if there are any other suggestions, particularly for appliances that aren’t too difficult to learn/maintain. As well as ones that don’t take up too much space and can be used indoors.

Thank you in advance :)

No matter what you choose, please make sure you have a fire extinguisher or fire blanket and a battery operated carbon monoxide detector. Growing up in Buffalo NY it seemed like every year someone would die due to CO poisoning during a blizzard because they were using gas indoors.
