A safer way is to chill the freezer right down with at least one hour of solo power, then unplug the freezer and plug in the fridge while the generator continues to run. Unplug the fridge and reconnect the freezer two or three times a day for at least an hour, or until the freezer shuts off itself. If the generator runs out of gas, or a neighbour drops a load of soil on it in the middle of the night, disconnect the load before restarting the generator
The little gas canister camping stoves are much better for maintaining a healthy rate of coffee supply, and they are much cheaper to run than electricity fired jugs on generators.
LOL, neighbours more likely to pinch it. If they could hear it...the parties and burnouts...
Yes I saw stuff about run for an hour, then again 4 hrs later sort of thing.
Of course running continuously would chew through the petrol too. And overlaod it.
We have a wee cooker thing and butane. That was fine for boiling water etc, not much help with freezere though.
