Ultimately, we will all probably be cooking and heating with wood stoves. But in any type of emergency scenario, it would be much safer to cook and heat with kerosene stoves and heaters. Wood stoves radiate a huge thermal plume visible to infrared detectors, so anyone with night vision goggles, or anyone looking down from a helicopter or airplane, would definitely be able to spot your location in a flash. During daylight hours, the smoke is visible for miles, sort of like a neon sign advertising "free hot food here for the taking." No thanks. It is better to keep out of sight, out of mind until the dust settles, and use kerosene heaters and cookers.

Why You Should NEVER Use Paper to Start a Wood Stove
https://rethinksurvival.com/why-you-should-never-use-paper-to-start-a-wood-stove/
(SNIP) ... my brother-in-law had been trying to keep the house warm with my in-laws wood stove ...

Unfortunately, he had been using paper to get the wood burning fireplace going rather than firestarter bricks which they normally use. ... CONTINUED

The No Paper Rule, Why I Never Start Fires With Paper
https://skillcult.com/blog/2015/11/20/the-no-paper-rule-why-i-never-start-fires-with-paper

It’s fire season again (the one where you get to have fires, not the other one) and I wanted to share something about the fire culture here at Turkeysong homestead. There has been a no paper rule in place in my households for a very long time. That is, there is no paper used to start the fire, just natural stuff. I am very pleased with this institution and hope to never change it. I’ll tell you why, and why I think it’s a good approach for people who are interested in self reliance, or in fire in general. ---CONTINUED---

Here are some instructions on how to fire/cook on a old style cook stove. We have one and it takes practice, especially the baking part:

How to Use a Wood-Burning Cook Stove
https://iamcountryside.com/self-reliance/how-to-use-a-wood-burning-cook-stove/

(SNIP) ... The functioning of the wood-burning cook stove is really quite simple. They will last for generations with proper care, since there is so little that can go wrong with them.

One end has a firebox, and outside the firebox there are vents. Mine has four “dials” which regulate how much air is fed to the fire. The more you open the vents, the hotter the fire. The ash door can also be opened for a surge of air, but this needs to be watched very carefully. ---CONTINUED---

How to Use a Wood Cookstove
https://practicalselfreliance.com/wood-cook-stove/

Wood cookstoves were once a part of every home, long before propane and electricity became options. They allow you the flexibility to harvest your own cooking fuel from the land, rather than relying on fossil fuel or grid-based fuel sources.

The challenge is, there can be a pretty steep learning curve cooking over wood. It’s not as simple as flicking on a button, but with a little practice, you can cook just about anything on a wood cookstove. ---CONTINUED---
