harbor freight generator. also fun fact, paid 30$ for their membership and got 60$ off the generator, take that how you want but its worth it. 4000 watts is enough to run the essentials and the whole tank

Ran across this:

Mr Heater Buddie portable heater that's indoor safe and will at least keep house warmer

1705625744995.png




  • It puts out a lot of heat using efficient radiant ceramic tiles
  • Has a low 4000 BTU and a high 9000 BTU setting
  • Runs 5.4 hours on a 1-lb single-use propane bottle or 108 hours on a 20-lb propane tank (additional hose and filter sold separately for the latter)
  • No electricity required
  • Small and lightweight
  • Heats up to 225 square feet
  • Easy to use right out of the box
  • 3-year warranty

I have 3 of those, love em!

I have a DIY UPS that will take care of flow for the MP40s and MP10 — automated and can run for days. Additionally, I have a Honda 2000i generator and it saved me twice so far. This is used to heat the tank, granted I’m in SoCal so not that cold. However, it can get down to 40F and inside the house, likely 68F — still too cold for corals. I can’t wait until I get a CyberTruck — it has enough juice to run our whole house and completely silent.
Did you get your order placed yet? I was waiting for the non FS orders to begin, got mine ordered Friday!

Came across your post searching the forum to see if anyone planning on having the Cybertruck be their backup power plan, as it is mine. Currently its been race home if I lose power and get my generator running, with extension cord to tank, and have been waiting to incorporate powershare!

Portable genny, extension cords and 20gal of fuel. Big enough to run the fridge, tanks, portable A/C and some lights. Thank god we have it. We're going to need it in a few days as Milton makes his approach to the west coast of Florida. We're in central 30 min SW of the Mouse. The track, as of now, will put it right on top of us. We will be boarding up tomorrow if it stays on current path. Wish us luck.

I didn’t place the order since the FS is crazy expensive. Besides, got too many vehicles already and the more expensive part is the insurance with 2 more young drivers on the policy.

FS is over! New orders are now $20K cheaper, that’s what I was waiting on. If you can wait a few more years though I bet you can save another 30!
