Emergency Generator - Part 2


Briggs & Stratton Generator

This is my residential standby generator, connected to a large propane tank. To the right of the generator, you can see the copper pipe for the line which goes to the propane tank.

I chose a Briggs & Stratton generator after also considering generators with Honda engines. It appears that Honda only has gasoline-powered engines now. I didn't want to deal with getting and installing a separate conversion kit (gasoline to propane) - so I went the Briggs & Stratton route. This one is a 7,000-watt unit.

Here's a closeup:
