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

Wrong. It would be incredibly impractical, not to mention outright
dangerous, to use gasoline or diesel as a fuel for cooking stoves. One
could also argue against propane or alcohol stoves for the other dangers
they present.




Diesel is actually a very good cooking stove fuel, as long as you are in
northern climes. Nice dry heat, and economical. But it also strikes me as
inefficient to run an engine to power an electric appliance to boil water.
If you're running the engine anyway, fine -- but to start it up and run it
JUST to boil water? Seems silly.
