Columbia River: We changed stoves a year ago. Went to a propane. It is costing us more gas each year, but, we can use it whenever we lose electricity. And, we do lose electricity frequently. We don’t bother with the generator unless the outage has been overnight. As you said, it is too hot to light a wood stove. Our wood stove is a Hearthstone which is soapstone and not made for cooking.
That said, do you have a camping stove? A Coleman white gas, or a butane? Butane can be used inside. It would be relatively cool to use during the summer compared to other options. I do not yet have, but would like to get, a butane stove.
It is the little things that trip us up. We have camp stoves, but they are in the garage in the camping gear box. Not going out there during a big storm.
