I thought of something. When we replaced our gas clothes dryer with an electric one (bad decision), I was left with an unused nat gas line in the basement. I could extend that line to a hookup on the outside of the house, on the other side of the wall from the dryer location. Then install a propane/nat gas kit on whatever portable generator I get, and voila no worries about running out of fuel, assuming gas is on.
