Know
Portable fuel-burning camp stoves and charcoal grills belong outdoors. An open window does not make indoor use safe. Follow the exact appliance instructions for placement, compatible fuel, and clearances. If you lack a safe outdoor cooking area, build your food plan around meals that do not need cooking.
Outdoor use only
Get
If a suitable outdoor setup is available, choose a stove, its compatible fuel, suitable cookware, and an ignition method. Check what you already own before adding equipment.

Do
Choose the cooking location before buying equipment. Match cookware and fuel to the appliance. Practice preparing your planned meals. Record fuel use and allow for the conditions in which you will cook. Arrange safe fuel storage using manufacturer guidance and local requirements.
Plan progress records tasks you have completed. It is not a prediction of safety or a guarantee of self-sufficiency.
Extended
Estimate fuel from your tested menu. Check storage limits before increasing quantities. Keep a practical food option available if fuel, weather, or your cooking location becomes a problem.
