"I always wished the TCH could be used as a backup generator so I could run my fridge, TV, and fan on my gas fireplace during a power failure. Sure, the gas "mileage" would be nil, but I could save several hundred dollars not needing a generator for the one or two times per year I lose power for an extended period "

I'am sure some of the electrical engeneers on this site can work out the details and let us know !!
