Timely thread (it is 5°F outside - without the wind chill - as I write this) and thanks for the suggestions.

I have a 4.3kW portable I got awhile back (actually as part of a service award from my company) and awhile back bought a natural gas adapter but never did any of the wiring or gas plumbing to outside where the generator would sit, largely because the gas line and the electrical service are on opposite ends of the house.

However this thread, and the extreme drop in temperature (53°F to 5°F in about 12 hours) has me thinking that I should do this sooner rather than later, forgo the natural gas hookup for now, and just keep an adequate supply of gasoline in the garage.
