Alternative and Backup Heat Sources for Household Emergency Preparedness

Compare alternative heating equipment for a properly planned installation. This broad collection includes Liberator Rocket Heaters, TEG equipment, outdoor ovens and fireplace products. Start by distinguishing indoor space heating from outdoor cooking: an outdoor oven or fireplace is not an indoor emergency heater.

Buying and planning guide

Choose the intended job first

For space-heating equipment, explore wood-burning stoves and pellet stove options. For food preparation, browse cooking equipment. Confirm the exact model's permitted location and application rather than assuming every wood-fired appliance serves both purposes.

Check fuel and electrical needs

Review the allowed fuel, loading method and operating instructions. A pellet hopper is an accessory, not a complete stove. Do not assume every pellet appliance operates without electricity or that adding a hopper makes any stove compatible with pellets.

Plan venting and clearances

Before ordering, have a qualified installer review the chimney or vent system, floor protection, clearances to combustibles and applicable local requirements. A heater's dimensions alone do not establish the space needed for installation. Follow the exact appliance listing and instructions.

Prepare for safe operation

Include smoke and carbon-monoxide alarms, appropriate fuel storage and regular inspection in the heating plan. Never move outdoor combustion equipment indoors during an outage. See the U.S. Fire Administration's heating fire-safety guidance.
