We have a camp stove that usually work on the little bottles, but I do have an adapter that can hook it up to the large 20lb standard propane tanks. That was my backup plan (and the first place I made coffee in the garage to make sure it worked).
We have been having discussions. We already have solar panels, but didn't get storage installed (which is really expensive). We are second guessing or past decision.
The wind itself is only part of the problem here. It's been extremely dry here (it's also been in the 60s every day, when normal is 30s-40s right about now). The Colorado snowpack is WAY below normal, so everything is dormant for winter but VERY dry. That was the problem with the Marshall Fire. Super super dry everything, one single spark, lots of winds, and 1000 houses burned down. That's the worry.
