Any real info on propane/NG generators? Costco is carrying a variety of Honeywell models at tolerable prices ($3500 for 15kW).

Main obvious questions are:
- How long can it run on X units of gas? (To wit: runtime for a standard gas-grill type canister?)
- Cost per kWh? (To wit: how competitive a source of electricity?)

How long a generator will run on a given amount of fuel depends on a lot of factors. Engine displacement and load are just two. As I mentioned above I plan on running mine on the natural gas that’s delivered to my home by the gas company.

The folks at US Carb whom I linked to above were very helpful when I called them. I’d recommend you do that.
