No electricity, no gas stove.....here is one alternative as a practical solution if fuel options are limited. An Asian steam boat. It is good for cooking stews, soups, boiling vegetables and cooking pasta. Some are designed for using charcoal, and others for using alcohol as a fuel. Provided precautions are taken regards carbon monoxide, steam boats can be used indoors. How To Prepare Easy Chinese Steamboat /Hot Pot At Home I prefer to use a stainless steel steam boat...than an aluminium one...it lasts longer, easier to keep clean, and no issues with corrosion, particularly with foods that are acidic. chinese (charcoal) steamboat | The Domestic Goddess Wannabe
Pretty cool system there Chello ,, don't remember ever seeing one before . Looks to be a little bulky for foot traveling ,, but I like the concept .
That's a design I've never seen before. Like a Kelly Kettle with a soup kettle attached. Very interesting.
Tea lights as an alternative heating source to charcoal / Sterno / methylated spirits. It may take somewhat longer to get the steamboat steaming, but it's a plausible option.
This brings back memories from my childhood. Now I'm going to try to acquire one. The soup always stayed blazing hot.
