ignition on these COP gassers. That leaves fuel ( and battery.)

Rich and Mitch - thanks for the input. While today is a no heating/cooling

Ah, that's the issue - heat is from the Geothermal heat pump - a big pump
motor and smaller compressor motor needs to start/run to keep the pipes
from freezing. Once we're that far, might as well power the whole house.

The most efficient portable generator I ever had was a Husky (Homelite 3650)
with a Subaru engine.
It could run my entire house except for my water heater. It bogged down and only
put about 200v into the water heater. I figured that was abusive and didn't use
it for that. If you have electric
