The Environmentally Safe Fuel Alternative

Are you prepared for this Hurricane Season?   Weather forecasts by the Weather Channel or NOAA forecasts for 2006 demand individual hurricane preparedness survival for a minimum of two weeks. Emergency preparedness requires use of safe designs for hurricane kits and/or emergency kits that can be used indoors without the risk of explosion or toxic fumes. Stoves designed for emergency use are better suited than conventional b-b-q or camping stoves. Sterno, butane, propane and Coleman stoves using white gas or kerosene are not recommended for indoor use. Candles and candle fuel cells used in hurricane lanterns and candle lamps can be safe when attended properly and have significantly lower environmental impact than batteries. Commercial candle lamps offer extended operating times much longer than the short life of expensive, wasteful batteries. Natural fuel sources such as canned heat and candles are lower cost and make less impact on the environment. Products such as EcoFuel, and Lumatane candles offer spill proof and spill resistant designs with low emissions safe for indoor cooking or outdoor cooking. FEMA suggests generators for maintaining refrigeration however, most generators are undersized for whole house applications. Gasoline and diesel is difficult to obtain when service stations fail to operate.
