Dual-Fuel

AD at work mentioned the DuroMax hybrid generator that runs on both gasoline and propane: the XP4400EH.  3500W rated, 4400W starting, with electric start and 240V output for $650.  The downside is that it's made in China, and apparently has some build quality issues.  (Link to softcopy of manual.)  The Honda EU2000i is $1000 and is 1600W rated, 2000W starting, with recoil start and only 120V output.

There's also a site, US Carburation, linked from the DuroMax page which sells propane adapters for other generators.  I'm almost more inclined to spend the money on the Honda and get the adapter, although I need to verify the power requirements for the devices I want to run.

Black Powder

An online shop, Track of the Wolf, has black powder for sale as well as firearms and accessories.  The catalog looks intriguing.
