Very efficient longer burn for less material you can use twigs and bark and stuff,and clean burning no smoke. They actually extract the hydrogen from the wood or material. They were used during WWII to run vehicles during the gasoline shortages

My granny used a pot belly stove that burned coal..wood...whatever burned..it kept her entire house warm...and if she started at 8am a pot of homemade soup was ready by 6pm....she kept the fire low during the day..has no idea how but she even made biscuits on that thing...thinks a few need to learn how the cowboys did it on open fires

Propane is easily the most widely used camp fuel. Now when we talk of surviving a depression, a natural disaster, or other displacement and having things around for emergencies we must address conservation in the use of propane. It doesn't serve you to take long periods of time heating water. There are some really high tech cooking systems for expedition camping that is designed to boil water rapidly even at high elevation where boiling water is more difficult. This will help to conserve fuel but some of these systems use butane or other derivative. So look for one that you can use with other heat sources for versatility.

As for a brand of grill. That's almost useless because they all suck in one way or another. I will however suggest that when you go shopping. Think modular. Don't get a BBQ that has this that and the other. Get smaller components that are easy to handle, store, carry... A small two burner cook top and a small grill.

Propane has a lot of versatility. The standard tank can be placed in a base to stabilize it and a post can be attached to it which other hoses can be hooked up and you can run a lantern, your grill , your stove, a catalytic heater or two and a bug zapper if your heart desires.

Also, if you get the lantern make sure to get spare parts for the lantern like the little felt that's inside it and don't let this be your only light source. Use it sparingly get some hand crank lights and/or solar rechargeable lights as your primary source lights and a headlamp for personal use.

Battery operated stuff is okay if you have a way to recharge it. A small cheap solar panel would be enough to recharge batteries for small devices.

"I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep forever." - Thomas Jefferson

Would give you the most options in size, you can get camp stoves that run off of lantern canisters, or 20lb,30lb,40lb,100lb and up tanks.
If you have the room you can buy a cheap propane stove for 200-300 bucks, the old kind with a pilot light that way you could bake and have the cook top. Or just a table top single or double burner one.

If you can & have room you can get a stand along tank up to 500 gallons(4.2lbs or so per gallon), and there are tanks made to be buried if your concerned about zoning or theft.

For the small tanks, you can exchange them, or more economically have them refilled. I refill them at my store, a lot of rental yards, and feed stores fill them. Right now it is about 17.60 for me to refill a 20lb tank(about 5 gallons).

Thank you Dr. Paul for making me act on what I already knew was right.

is my choice. I bought a propane camping stove and 4 bottles of propane [the big ones, like for an RV or outdoor grill] and a hose to run them. got a coffee pot that will fit the stove too. you can run these devices off of a big propane tank if you know how to use a flareing tool and have some copper pipe. the pressure coming off the regulator is really not very high.[11 in wc] [less than 1/2 a PSI] it is a good and plentifull fuel.

this because I have been wondering the same thing.

Look into "wood gasification" stoves, or sometimes called "wood gas" stoves. There's tons of information to be found on google and youtube. These stoves can be easily built DIY and are popular in countries where people are still self-reliant. (sometimes referred to as "3rd world" countries)
