Default Kettle to boil water

If you have a generator, then you must have fuel.

Better to burn the fuel for heat in a stove directly than to:
burn the fuel for heat in an engine
use the engine to turn a generator
use the generator to charge a battery
use the battery to run an inverter
use the inverter to power an electric stove
