Hi John and a Merry Christmas.

Rather than a generator, which I have little experience with and virtually no place to store fuel, I have been considering a kerosene heater and lamp. Do you have any wisdom gained from the Ice Storm on either of these 2 items?

>>I plan to run my standby generator at 80% maximum and 50% continuous. Since I have a 5000 watt generator, this means 4000 watts maximum, 2500 watts continuous.<<

Do you have any thoughts as to the accuracy of the "run time vs gas consumption" estimates?

Emory

John, I saw a link to this note and wanted to point out that my generator can be started with a jumper cable- from a car battery to a plug in connector at the generator. This is a lot easier than pull start. Mike
