Yes...and yes.
I'm not sure if that breather hose heater is the entire sum of the Cold Climate Technology or not.

I have my generator out in the shed right now but that's not ideal. The door lock tends to freeze up due to all our freeze thaw cycles.
The EU2000i can be kept in the house because , with it's gas cap vent closed, there is no smell at all. You could have it sitting next to your LazyBoy and not even notice it. I'll keep it in the cool basement with minimal fuel and it's dedicated gas can will be in my 2nd unlocked shed.
