Good point, $400 for a generator.
You can also get a portable IR 18000 BTU propane back up heat for around $150. Mine will use 20# propane in 24 hours on the 6000 BTU setting. Think about it, 6000 BTU about the same as 1750 watts, lot cheaper using IR propane vs gas.
I had air cooled VW's in the 60's. Heat in the VW came from the exhaust. If a person could safely design a heat exchanger for the exhaust, a person could get way more heat from a genny than electricity.
A carpet cleaning service uses small 4 cylinder diesels to power the vacuum. He made up a heat exchanger so the exhaust will heat the water he puts on carpet.
So, the idea of using exhaust to make heat really isn't a new idea. Are there any small gennies with built in heat exchangers?
