What backup unit would be good for all around emergency's

likely not. 

is the stove 240vac?

anyway, list what you REALLY NEED, and then find out the wattage each item .  If it does not say watts, remember,

Volts x Amperes = Watts (we wont worry about power factor for now)

or . . . use a kill-a-watt meter to find out EXACTLY the rate at which your loads consume electricity.

once you know this number in watts multiply it by the hours you use said item(s).  this is the coveted WATT-HOURS total you will need.

compare this to the watt-hours of storage in the battery bank.  convieniently batteries are listed in amp hours, not watt-hours.  take battery voltage x amp-hours to get . . . Watt-hours.



you happened to select very power hungry applications.  anytime electricity is used for heating (food, blankets, space heaters, hair dryers) it is very inefficient and takes gobs of energy.


use the equations and that should get you pointed in the right directon.  feel free to call us for more help.
