propane is a clean burning fuel and they work well on it, BUT, consider this,propane in small bottles generally is way over priced,and especially so if you trade them out at say walmart or somewhere.its best if you have a larger storage tank and fill your own smaller bottles.its less effeciant than gas,but like you say easier to store.if you ran out,again that walmart or where you trade would likely be shut down also for lack of power.if you had a place that uses propane for heat,it may be worth the time and effort to convert,but then again consider the amount of time you will be running,one day two days?at this rate and for the savings versus cash outlay, your grandkids would probably still be paying for the conversion kit.I would think you would need to look at the normal power outages for you area,to see if it would be worth it.MY opinion for what its worth ,if I had a STANDBY GENERATOR yes it would be worth it,If I had a EMEGENCY GENERATOR ,no, it would be ran a few hours daily only and not continuously.
