Power: when it comes to generator use case, sometimes less is more. When you are stuck at home during extended outage, it is initially nice to have a large power output, and everything works, and no comfort is sacrificed. But then you start running out of gas. You don't want to run out of gas. Large generator means large idle consumption, so even when you turn off all the unnecessary loads, you still use a lot of gas. This is the point when you start thinking: "perhaps if I had a smaller generator, I would have not ran out so fast"
Inverter: non-inverter power source is not good for two reasons: 1) you can damage motors and electronics, and that will happen at the moment of an outage, e.g.: when you absolutely don't want to damage your motors and electronics. I had a generator using which my computers won;t work, because UPS units would not recognize it as a good power source and immediately switch to batteries. 2) non-inverter generators must always operate at RPM corresponding to 60Hz. That means that at idle they would have to work harder than they must. You waste a lot of gas compared to inverter generators, especially at low loads, and that happens at exactly the time when you don't want to waste gas.
Tri-fuel: that is certainly the way to go. Gasoline goes stale very fast because they poison it with ethanol these days. Clear gas cost an arm and a foot per gallon. At any rate it lasts perhaps a year, perhaps two, then you must use it off. Natural gas/LP has distinct advantage that you can store it for decades. LP is not ideal, unless you live on the farm and have a large LP tank, the BBQ gas tanks will run out very fast. Best way to operate generator is some combination of gasoline, followed by quick-connect to natural gas.
Also, tri-fuel: factory tri-fuel generators are overpriced. Best way to go is buy a gasoline generator and install snorkel kit to effectively convert it to tri-fuel. I have not seen generators on the market which are both tri-fuel and inverter (perhaps I was not looking hard). For myself, I chose to get an inverter generator and make it tri-fuel. This way I get all benefits of inverter and also have an option to switch to nat gas source
I've been looking for a tri fuel inverter generator for a long time (that had 240v 30a output)
I specifically want the ability to run off natural gas.. I've seen videos of people converting dual fuel inverters to run on natural gas, but I don't get why a company can't simply sell me one that does it so I don't need to fiddle with it myself.
This generator is using all the fuel source that is being ban right now by the government. Is my statement true?
I know you're just trying to fear mother monger, but you sound so ridiculous that you can't even do that.
You should have just said something irrelevant about China and moved on to another topic.

You all need to get over this ignorance and move on with the times. Also natural has stoves are the least efficient form of cooking and the vast majority of people don't have their kitchen's ventilated properly to use gas in the first place which is dangerous. Induction is amazing and is the future. Gas cooking is a complete waste of money except for a few particular types of cooking.
I just have a few questions:
1. Is that unit a good fit for me? (enough power, etc?)
2. Can I get it connected to my supply line that my propane tank underground connects to?
3. I read something about dirty power at THD<20% and that some high efficiency furnace control boards require less than 5% THD - is this something I should be concerned about?
4. Would I just need an electrician to add a outlet plug from my home?
I was debating between this and a standby home generator, but if I can save several thousand dollars and just roll out this unit when I need it, I think it would be fine. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! If you don't think this is a good unit for me, please let me know. Or if it is a good fit, I will get it. Thanks!

They make double pole breakers for all amperage sizes....its not uncommon to see a small electric heat circuit being run on a double pole 15amp breaker
...
I have installed 100's of 2 pole 20amp breakers in my life...

If you compress it to a liquid state in the cylinder... But then is it natural gas or natural liquid....
