Running the Generator - pre power outage

I dont have a UPC / APC or the newest board on a 2009 Harman XXV to address smoke in the house (
yet). I do have the Honda 2000i / propane conversion ready to go. I can run 16-17 hours off a 20 pounder and very tempted to just fire it up to ensure a stress free overnight with the stove not worrying about smoke backup and trudging through the snow in the middle of the night.

Anyone else in a similar situation?

me i'm drinking beer and thinking about cooking dinner . not going to waste my genny gas . get everything set up so if your smoke alarm wakes you , you can react .

that is unless your drunk like me and will worry about it in the morning

well, ya....i started early too.

Well thats about 2 gallons of propane or ~$6 you probably could turn on whatever heat you have and run it for less for that timeframe.

Probably not. Most people with gennys always start them a day or 2 before a big storm comes that you already knew about.

Hope you got it started.

Got more gas last night and fired it up then... no need to hook up the stove to the genny - I know how it will work thanks to hurricane Sandy. Good luck.
