LI-Mini-Owner said:I don't understand why keeping the APC UPS in-line would cause you to have to up the size of the generator. The ACP is at least 90% efficient so the maximum draw on it's input (during the start-up cycle with ingitor running) would be in the order of 600Watts. Keeping the APC in-line gives you the advantage of keeping the stove running while you shut down the generator for refueling, or running some other load for a few minutes - like a microwave.

Perihead,
I run a small RV fridge in my basement. I am pretty confident it will handle my large refrigerator as well.
I can find out for you though, if you can wait till Monday (Working all weekend) night for the results. I will run a Quadra-Fire Castille from a cold start, 2 standing lights, 60" DLP TV, Blue-Ray player. I will also hook up my full-size refrigerator as well (26 cubic feet), and test them all running at the same time. I need to run the generator some anyway.
Just for kicks, I might even video tape and post a link on the site. Let me know.
Cheers,
Bucktail
peirhead said:That would be great Bucktail....The Castile , refrigerator and a couple of lights would do me just fine....If it will really run these then I think I'd go with the smaller more portable Honda.
peirhead said:Bucktail...I appreciate your efforts..the results are truly amazing...You should probably add a disclaimer that "Your results may differ" however I am sold on the Honda.....thanks again - Bob
