Two from pre Oklahoma Land Run days and another that is probably 70 years old +.They put out nice light and heat. During the Ice storm years ago we used them for light, the fireplace for heat and a coleman cookstove to cook on.It was quite the adventure with another family from town coming to live with us as they had no preps.Not an unpleasant time for me or the wife as at that time we were into tent camping in primitive areas without electricity or running water. We took food from the freezer and put it outside at night to stay frozen. Never lost anything from the fridge or freezer.Just used the tools we had already acquired. After 11 days a friend loaned us a generator as their power came back on. We ran it for a couple of days until our power came back on.We did buy a nice electric start generator shortly afterward but have only used it twice for short periods of time.</blockquote>
