As we have seen with some of the recent storms and natural disasters having a form of alternative emergency separate from the grid can be critical to minimizing the impact of power outages. While we have spent less than two years on our property and continue to work on developing the homestead, we only have a small generator of 2000W. It has worked well through a couple of major power outages and kept the deep freeze and refrigerator going with no issues.
With the possibility of a larger, long-term power outage we’ve wanted a larger generator for some time. Our cabin actually uses a fairly low amount of power.
A friend and co-worker who understands we moved to Maine and are basically starting over from scratch has gifted us a Coleman 6750-watt generator. This generator has definitely seen some usage. Importantly, it has been well maintained. My buddy just had it serviced with spark plug checked and oil changed. Since he purchased a new Generac, he offered the Coleman to us no charge.
I was beyond grateful.
I’ll contact a local electrician and look at options to tie it into the house.
Of course, we seek to have redundancy in all systems and will maintain the smaller generator as well – just in case.
As I type this a new Cat 5 hurricane is barreling towards Florida. This highlights the need to prepare as we live in extremely uncertain times.
With that said……take care all!

THANKS FOR LOOKING!!!!
We just picked up a 5k/4k dual fuel generator for our place. It will provide back-up power for our freezers and refrigerator. Runs off gas (5k) or Propane (4k) – of which I have a dozen or more bottles on hand.
Nice score on the genset! Please pray for those of us looking down the barrel of Milton. I’m still trying to recover from the destruction from Ian. I have done my best to think of things that I didn’t do before Ian to save my home. I bought a bunch of cans of expanding foam and did my best to seal the 16′ garage door and the side door for the garage as well. I had sandbags for Ian but they were useless because the surge was so huge. I duct taped the back door closed and even set up a bilge pump system in the house with the back-up Rule 1100 pump that I kept on hand for my charter boat (destroyed during Ian). So wish me well and send some prayers my way and to all Floridians who have been through far too much. Thank.s
I am hoping and sending prayers your way but extend them to all Floridians.
You have prepared well. I lived thru a Hurricane named Carla which was a Cat 5. It was beyond belief.
So I wish you all the best and just do whatever you can. Sending blessings your way!!
Been thinking about you and praying for you today.
FYI—-Pick up a bottle of PRI-G gasoline preservative and additive.It is the
best on the market. We are running 3 year old gasoline in the small truck
and 4 year old red diesel in the big truck with PRI-G additive.
Several carburetor kits for the generator would be a good idea also.
The old saying”if it has wheels,tits,or a carb you’ll have trouble with it”
Damn the government for their lack of meaningful response to the folks
devastated by the hurricanes.The will answer to the voters soon and to
God one day.
