We woke up this morning a little chilly after the power went out sometime in the night. I hooked up a cheap, 1200 watt generator I bought at Wal-Mart a couple hears ago and got the pellet stove up and running. Put it on the highest setting and took the chill off the place. I had never tried the generator before and never run my stove that hot. Both worked fine.
If you are not in the market for a big Genset I'd recommend getting a small one at walmart just for the stove. They run about 150 bucks, likely cheaper on sale. And it is not one with the pure sine wave track. Make sure your it through a power bar. It would not however power up my UPS, which runs the stove for a few minutes during short power glitches.
