Hold on.. Math doesnt add-up here.
Are you telling me that a gallon propane tank (3.8l) can last
24 hours for about 1000W power generation. Are you sure?
I could belive for 6 hours... maybe 8.. not 24 hours.
So either you are using up 200-300W.. or you have superior power
generator. Can you share what are you using?

We just run extension cords and don't have a transfer switch. It's pretty
surprising what you can run on about a kw. A gallon propane tank lasts close to
24 for us.
