Our generator is in a shed outside. Hubs runs it a few minutes every couple of weeks to test it. Otherwise, it isn’t used unless we lose power, which rarely happens. It’s a comfort knowing it’s there.
Definitely a great convenience item - but unless you have a large underground propane tank there is a limited period of usefulness.
I have one too - not against them by any means, just a reminder that being secure and quiet is part of good prepping.
Too many predator preppers out there that only purchase ammunition and look for other folks who have food.
