I would also suggest getting a wood burning stove and stock a few cords of wood for it. They only need to push a couple of buttons and people will be freezing to death.
I’ve had butane or propane for heat and cooking since the mid 70’s but as I’ve always told my kids ( adults now) always have a fireplace or something where you can light a fire and at least boil water—my oldest and I lived in a house in mountain country 5500’ altitude ( not too high but some cold winters) with only a fireplace as heat — spent a good part of the winter in main room ( encompassed kitchen/living/bathroom) with fire going in fireplace 24/7 from late October till March — he was 12-13 and rode his bike home from school at lunch to feed/stoke fire —chopped wood the cowboys brought us on weekends . He’s highly successful 6 figure salary with no college degree cause he’s smart, resourceful and can handle anything
Daughter knows how to wrap a well — thaw pipes/ wrap pipes / cook use power tools/baling wire and train a hunting dog — and build a fire
Teach your kids everything— you never know when things will go backwards
I was lucky enough to learn from rural hardship upbringing to pass skills along but nowadays you can Google it and teach yourself and your kids basic skills that were a crucial part of life not long ago
It does say that one high input burner will be allowed. That's all I need to pan fry my steaks! My bar bq doesn't even get that hot, I wish, it's a pain to clean the stove constantly. Now I just need to move that smoke detector.

My house has 3 separate chimneys, maybe the same people used to live here.
4 active stoves. 3 wood burner
Well that'll sure boost the economy...

Actually I have 2 of those burners. I don't need to reconsider my position it is exactly the same as yours.
