Thanks Libstripper, I’ll have to check into that. We had propane 12 years ago when we moved here, and switched to natural gas after the lines were run to my neighborhood. From a prepper perspective, I kinda wish I hadn’t.
Can a gasoline generator be easily converted to gas, or is that not practical?

I'd really be interested in knowing the same thing. Along with how to quiet it down. When we've had to use ours for power outages, we did not run it continuously. We'd just run it enough to keep the essentials going, like the furnace and the freezer and the fridge. We bundled up, got what food we needed out of the fridge, got it cold enough again, and shut the thing off to save gas.
Ours is only a 4,000 watt one, but it's good on gas and takes care of the basics. It is noisy however.
It's my understanding that's a relatively minor process - replacing a part in the carburator (or perhaps the entire carburator), and attaching the inlet fuel line to a propane fitting rather than the gasoline tank.
