Natural Gas is great yet when you change to Propane you lose wattage and Natural Gas loses even more so much that you may have to upsize the generator if you need more power.

Huh? Both do the same thing, an interlock kit is just automatic and much safer. Can still power the same amount of stuff.

You can often get gas when your power is out, some stations now have generators and sometimes power outages are localized so it wouldn’t take much of a drive to get some gas.
