Last spring we were in a pinch losing power when it was 30 degrees out, so I went to the nearest hardware store and scored a 4375 for $500.
I then made a 10 gauge extension cord with 2 males and plugged it into the garage.
Was up and running in about 45 minutes from when the outage began and everything in the house ran fine, most importantly the furnace so we could stay warm.

I'll install it properly someday but we're ok as is for now.

Also got 200 lbs of propane and working on a rocket stove for a back up to the back up.

Just for the record, one of those is colloquially known as a suicide cord. Be very, very careful with that, and who you allow around it.

Used to backfeed thru the 220v dryer outlet. I have since installed a proper 30a outlet to the panel thru a 30 amp breaker. It ain’t that hard.
