Nice. 1.7 l an hour is not bad for a 3 cylinder . And the silent aspect is good, personally i am putting all my next lot of cash into solar panels and new batteries. I already have fantastic regulators and some panels, and they are so cheap nowadays.

We use gas, ( bottled) for hot water and cooking at the moment. we have a woodburner for heating and some cooking in winter. Gas cost for us is about £130 a year. I have 5 years supply of wood for the woodburner. As we generate a lot of offcuts from our sawmill. We use the generator when we have the washing machines on. so not to kill the batteries. The generators ( i largish 5.5kva and 1 small 1kva , both lister/petters run the workshop, and are very reliable and frugle. And my work landrover 200tdi stationwagon has a dieselveg conversion and costs us less that 5p a litre ( filters) . All my family think that i am a crazy person and tight as a ducks a----. I agree. The most expensive thing we have is the landrover discovery td5 to run ( about 25 miles to the gallon) and i won't give that up because it's so nice to drive and warm and i can actually hear the stereo.. And the ice cream bill in summer is a bit steep ( 2 litres of Mackies a day, any flavour). That way we don't have to work too much to earn money and so can do stuff that we both like. We have started to call our place a 'homestead' and not a farm now. I love it.
