Hour 27 with no power, at least it's not too hot to sleep in the house, we open a couple of windows and it gets pretty cold at night in the house. Looks like I'll be grilling everything I can today and tomorrow.
		
		
	 
Y'all have LP, or natural gas?  We had an ice storm here in 2007 that shut everything down for a week. (3 weeks in some areas!)
No electric, but we had hot water, and a stove to cook on. Wasn't terrible. It was freezing in the garage, so I threw a few blankets over the deep freeze and all was well.  Wife had killed an elk the week before, it was all in the freezer except for 12-15  pounds that was marinating for jerky when power went out. 
I brought my dehydrator to work, and would start a batch at 5AM and let it run all day. (we have generator power here) Got all the jerky done, but man, smelling that all day will make you slobber!
