I don't see anyone in this thread saying it is not safe. Why would line power be safe but not the power from this generator? And what makes powering a pellet stove different than the boiler/furnace or even a computer? I'm thinking of getting one of these along with a transfer switch kit like this: http://www.amazon.com/Reliance-Cont...sr_1_3?s=garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1293724319&sr=1-3

They do get good reviews,and certainly cheap enough,but it may not be a "clean" as say a Honda generator,they are made in the same country who poisoned dog food and not really known for careful manufacturing.
Just want to be sure, not sense in saving a couple hundred then have the mother board on my Harman get smoked.

Wed,once again, the power went out.3 hrs, not big deal as I had the wood stove going as well (pellet stove shut off but no smoke).
I see CB has them,backorder able again and was toying with buying one.
