Thanks DG-man....That pretty much answers my question on the st2 and, the hr2, now, if I can get fuel consumption on a roid 8/1,.....pretty sure we can get by with 4.5 kw (peak)and, maybe 3 kw (continuous) approx. 6 hrs a day...would have to get rid of storage electric waterheater and, install on demand lp water heat......still looking into storage of lp (how long will it last) and, storage homebrewed biodiesel......is bio even cost effective?(labor and materials)....want stay with-in the KISS category....Thanks for responding.....helps guide me in the right direction......."Stay Safe"........................Mark

Hi all.....been a lurker for awhile .....sure appreciate this site, and, am learning a lot........I'm a lineman for a power co. and will be getting prepared to get off the grid (when it all hits the fan)...........! Want to get an 8/1 roid, with 5 kw ST, from Gary at des, as soon as I save up enough coin. ( in the process of building a pole shed to house the genset and everything else for SS) my guess, is that in less than 3years, we're not going to recognize this great country...........the electrical infrastructure is fragile and, most vulnerable to social and, economic collapse, fossil fuel shortages, terrorist attack, ect. Own 200 acres, garden, can meat, smoke fish, heat with a 1907 round oak cylinder stove, horses, dogs, (german shepherds and a jrt) harley, honda 4 wheelers, john deere tractor (diesel of course) hunt, fish, fly a ppc,........sorry, beginning to ramble......Why am I here......? You guys are all knowledgeable, informative....and cool and, this is a great site ...  that can help me down the path to ss...( self sufficiency).............Why not,...maybe I can somehow give something back.........................."Stay Safe".................................Mark
