Dennis,

That is what I do. I have a 220V Dryer circuit that is unused. I switch off the house air conditioners and the oven and the main breaker to the world.

If you want a good setup, you will split off the things that you do not want run on the generator and put the main circuits on a transfer switch with a generator receptacle. It is basically a 220V dedicated circuit with a generator specific outlet. The nice thing about getting this setup is you are most of the way to a whole house Generator setup.
