I use mine - just light the burner with a lighter or match.
I keep a Melita drip coffee pot and a tea kettle for heating the water. And in the winter there are usually at least a couple varieties of soups, stes, chili, etc and they have been very welcome when there is no power!
They aren't saying much about icing here, mostly rain changing over to snow. But I am good now - gas range and woodstove! Gas water heater too ;-)
