Going off the grid now and learning to be self sufficient out in the hills somewhere is looking like a wise move for sanity and retirement...not just in case of disaster.Timothy Frazierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07233747022474584914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-23917650362709840702011-02-06T20:24:38.703-08:002011-02-06T20:24:38.703-08:00R.S.-

I wonder if there IS a generator that runs on propane?<br /><br />Solar power is OUT for me, because I have a lot of trees around me and no clear southern or northern exposure -- which are the directions of the slopes of my severely-pitched snow roof. The snow would probably break any solar panels anyway.<br /><br />BZBloviating Zeppelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359816456769157176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-17396521317341484832011-02-05T16:04:06.922-08:002011-02-05T16:04:06.922-08:00I'd recommend you contact Genrac- They've ...I'd recommend you contact Genrac- They've been around 50 years, and do a pretty good job.

Generato...I enjoy your blog. Am a regular reader. <br /><br />Generator sizing. If purpose is to run entire house for very limited time, as in a weather outage your approach is correct...If you are running the generator in time of civil collaspe you will want something that will burn less gasoline. Look into a honda eu2000.

A generac 4kw is what I have for my house. It'll get the electric heat going and keep the freezer cold.<br /><br />We also run our camper on it, TV Microwave, lights, AC/Heat all at the same time.<br /><br />It'll be at it's limits I think but you should be able to run most of the house on it.jinkstohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05645519830822645928noreply@blogger.com
