Generals have engine heaters, but no good for off grid. I don’t recall our little robin generators not starting when cold. I used to have a chart showing vapor delivery at different temps for different tank sizes. That is a serious problem at lower temps. Even at warmer temps if you are using lots of gas. A barbecue cylinder will self refrigerate to the point if stopping working at 100,000 btu on a warm day.
