Cleo -
We just pigtail in the furnace from an extension cord. (remove the plug-in end and connect)
Then we have 2 ground fault extension cords from the generator (the yellow cords) running into the house.
From there, 1 goes to Work stuff, 1 goes to survival stuff.
In offline mode, we're not connected to the main line at all, so when the lights do go on, we know it.
Hasn't failed for 4 years.
Oh, and you need a gas stove..
