That looks like a heaven-sent device. While I'm not a 'prepper' in the political fringe sense, I do believe in practical home management, and I'm going to get one of those little cuties ASAP.

Very soon now I'll be getting my new gorgeous dual-fuel gas/lp living room heater installed; I chose it partly because the ignition is battery powered rather than electric. You couldn't give me a modern furnace.
