Don't let the next power failure leave you unable to cook dinner.
For about twenty dollars worth of ordinary red clay bricks you can build an efficient temporary backyard stove that burns charcoal, small sticks of wood, or tightly rolled pieces of junk mail to cook up a nice big pot of bean soup, or grasshopper stew. In a real emergency you might even borrow some bricks from your garden walkway or from the edging around your flower beds. Since no cement or mortar is used in the construction of the pyramid, once the power is restored you can replace the bricks until the next time they are needed. The stove requires 63 bricks to build.
