What’s Your Go-To Backup Heat Source?

When the grid’s down, what’s everyone relying on for backup heat? I’ve got a woodstove but wondering if there are better low-maintenance options for small spaces. Would love to hear what’s worked for you, especially in really cold snaps.

Kerosene heaters have been my backup for years—easy to use and most models can handle a decent-sized room without much fuss. Always keep extra fuel stored safely, though, and crack a window for ventilation. If you don’t want to deal with fumes, a couple well-placed radiant propane heaters work too, as long as you’ve got the right space and detectors. Anyone tried those newer battery-powered heaters in actual winter conditions? Curious if they hold up.
