If you do run your stove on a non-inverter gen, what precautions should be taken? Would a surge pretector be enough?

Between the generator (cheapo Generac 5500) and the stove, I have a gentran switch, whole house surge protector, an outlet surge protector and a 750w UPS. Its over kill. A GOOD surge protector and a UPS should be fine. The 5500 watts take care of the boiler, fridge and well pump along with the pellet stove with no problem.
If you were looking to plug the stove directly into the genny, I would definitely get an inverter generator. Check out Generac, you can have an 800w or a 2000w for about half of a comparable Honda.
