Source note
Pellet stove igniters and fans draw unevenly; default assumes ignition plus steady fan use.
Never operate a fuel-burning generator indoors, in a garage, on a porch, or near open windows. Use a listed transfer switch or interlock installed by a qualified electrician for home wiring, and verify actual device nameplates before buying equipment.
