Prepper Use Case
SCENARIO
Apartment blackout during winter. Your electric range does not work, and you cannot use a propane burner indoors without risking carbon monoxide poisoning. Sterno cans on a simple folding frame heat food safely on your kitchen table. One can heats a pot of water for freeze-dried meals or soup. With 6 cans, you have 15 hours of cooking heat — enough for a full week of hot meals for a family.
