Cooking, heating and hot water "off the grid" required a bit of thought. Using my local materials, site orientation and a bit of surfing on the net and this is what I came up with.
The Scandia Banquet, plenty big enough for a few people and a roast and extras. It comes fitted with a wet back (for hot water topup) and is on the cheaper side of the Stanley etc. This little beauty provides the winter cooking, kettle, heating and hot water. By the way I have plenty of firewood handy. Reinforced sides and back allow the heat to be directed to the living areas.
It also has a temperature gauge which is essential for cooking and can put the wood underneath.
Found a great site for looking at all this stuff if you are interested.
