Portable generator

There are some good options for portables out there that are dual-fuel, they allow the use of gas or propane. Anything with a Honda engine is always a good choice. Get electric start. They don't always pull over easy in the dead of winter.

I have a Duromax dual fuel and it works fine. My house has an installed generator so we moved this one up to the island for emergency use. I also have a 5kw Troy-Bilt that came with a previous home we bought. Pull start, no thrills but as long as I run it dry whenever I use it, it always starts right up when needed.
