On advice from ppl in this group, I paid the big bucks for a good
generator and got a Yamaha 2000 watt for $989 from Amazon (yeah, I
know a weird place to buy a generator). It should be here in a couple
of days but the reviews were all very good.


good deal man. it will deliver the goods for you, just make sure you
have good ventilation. Even though outside a still night can make the
monoxide drift in strange ways.


CO is really dangerous. They're a lot more of a risk than a tiny
amount propane gas down current. A friend of mine almost died from CO
poisoning. He didn't even realize it was happening.


Good points y'all. I am so used to running my boats diesel to
generate power that I did not even think of this (Diesels do not make
CO) but I do not ever plan to use it at night or in confined space but
thanx for the warning.
