Almost 20 years ago I found that I could use my camp stove to do some pressure canning. We had a glass top range in our home. That was fine for most things, but it wouldn't bring a pressure cooker up the pressure. What I did was bring in my Coleman propane camp stove. That camp stove would bring a pressure cooker up to full pressure as fast as any gas stove would. One of the benefits I noticed from using this camping stove was I could move the stove where I needed it. if it was a hot day. I could move it to the basement, or even outdoors. This kept most of the kitchen, even the rest of the house, relatively cool on a hot summer day. I have used both propane and gas in our camp stove to can many items. Be careful of using gas indoors. It would need to be well ventilated and indoor use is not recommended. But propane does not offer the same problems. For a gas stove such as dual fuel or white gas outdoor use is really the only consideration. Propane use in a confined area becomes a consideration if you're not able to supply enough oxygen to the room.
If you lose power, are you able to cook a meal? Keeping your camp stove accessible would allow you to a least heat up a meal for your family.
