Mine is dual fuel so I use propane. Very handy. Stores (a little) better than gas.
Electric start. I keep a tender on the battery. 9500 watts. I use a marine shore power cable between my shed and the connector on the side of the house. I have most of my house on the transfer switch. No central air. No oven. Yes everything else. So fans and ceiling fans are a go. I think I could run the AC if I put one of those "Easy Starts" on it to reduce the locked rotating amps at start. Not gonna try the oven.
Today was a good real life test. With no drills I had it up and running in about 5 minutes half asleep. But I got soaked.
