@bosco659 You have natural gas at the cottage?
I have been looking but haven't bought. Our biggie is water for the horses so need about 20amps of 220 to run the well pump. We do have natural gas so a tri fuel gen set seems like the hot tip.

We are a on a major connector grid line so outages are rare. But a storm last spring had so many problems everywhere it took a service truck a day to get here and spend 10 minutes to take a small branch off our overhead to the house and reset the breaker at the pole transformer. I was SO tempted to DIY it LOL.
Power compasny has automatic outage reporting from the meter internals but they were so overwhelmed the system broke down. I t took many calls to get a truck here cuz they system caliimed our power was back on even though it wasn't We tree trimmed and debris cleaned for 5 neighbors, one went two days without power.
