Cook outside, however if you solve the power problem, cook with
electricity... Otherwise use propane:

- how to get a quiet electrical generator that runs on avgas

I think most would be able to, quiet is the tuff part. Lots of batteries
might be the easiest (house, seperate from the mains), with large output
alternators on your engines to restore them. Or perhaps a GPU (gas
driven DC generator) for topping off the batteries before takeoff. An
inverter can power any 120vac devices for periods of time in the air or
on the ground...

Then after all is said and done. How do I get all this approved? I
mean by the authorities ~ my wife is another story.

Airframe mods could be a booger, unless you'd move the plane into
experimental and then insurance could be a real issue. How does one
insure a warbird (exmilitary plane)? From the interior photos I saw, you
could perhaps mod a portion of that desk along the right side for
kitchen duties. Otherwise you'll be removing alot of stuff that might
allow adding more stuff... G
