For many, prolonged loss of power means eventually, the generator goes silent and when that happens, everything from heat to refrigeration to light becomes a challenge.
There are many options, including storing quantities of gasoline or kerosene or using a fireplace or wood stove, but each has its limitations.
Gasoline and kerosene pose a risk of deadly emissions and are highly combustible. You really should not use the former indoors and while the latter can be used in a ventilated area, it is not preferable.
Wood stoves or fireplaces are a safer, but unless you use either regularly, you likely do not have stocked kindling and wood to do it for very long.
In either case, fuel gel is a good alternative. The primary incendiary is Isopropyl alcohol, which means it is not highly combustible, will not splash and does not give off deadly emissions.

Scam!
I get taken to a page to buy toyotas
Homemade napalm (like Sterno fuel) = dissolve a whole bunch of Styrofoam into gasoline until it becomes like Jello.
Is there a need for fuel stabilizer I’m that as well if stored for prolonged amount of time?
Cool

For my own use, I take an empty tuna or cat food can, coil a strip of cardboard like a clockspring inside the can, then pour in melted paraffin (Takes about 1/4 pound.) The can fits in foldable camp stoves for Sterno, and burns for about 2 hours.
Much less mixing and measuring, and the components are available in any grocery.
We should try this Sarah Dixon
It’s not a scam you probably clicked on the thing
Do you need a wick in something like that, or does the whole facing burn, or what? I like to try this, I’ve got (access to ) all of the components . . .
You just light the cardboard above the paraffin.

Isn’t that basically naplam?
Gel fuel, is that PC for napalm?
If you live in a place where it gets cold and snow storms suddenly occur making travel treturious, it’s wise to carry a can of Fuel Gel in the glove box of your vehicle. If stranded, a can can keep you warm for 4 – 6 hours depending on the type you purchase. Common sense says crack the window a tad for fresh air and safety.
“Common sense” is a very fluid construct these days.
