It’s Saturday morning, the power has been out all night. The house is freezing, the fridge is rotten and you’re home alone with no food and all the kids. Welcome to Jackass.

That sucks man. PS I tested this and it’ll run my fridge and my deepfreeze. Highly recommend buying two of them. You can even chain them together. And quiet as a whisper.

I am shopping right now haha. I have to get better prepared, we live pretty rural so it’s up to us. Luckily my dad had this one from a scratch and dent sale. Got it running on propane which is pretty sweet. Had it going just in time to save the meat freezer 🙏🏻

I started pressure canning meat and fish as well. It’s nice to have part of your meat stash that is shelf stable in a grid down situation.

I’ve canned but never meat. I need to start.

I’ve used these a lot at work and love them. Bought a Yamaha back in 2017 to compare and it hasn’t disappointed either.

The Yamaha's a solid call. How long have you been rotating between the two, or do you just keep them both on standby?

We have about 30 of the Hondas and use them for construction sites without power. Most of the stock is 5+ years old. They get serviced between jobs and no one shuts them off most days. The real problem is that they grow legs very easily.

ok I need to know— did you start with smaller stuff like chicken or just go straight for beef? how'd your first batch turn out?

Moose, beef or deer are great. You just jam your jars full of meat cubes and alternate-in a couple layers consisting of an onion slice and a wafer of salt pork fat or tallow to add some more fat to the mix. Fill the voids by pouring in boiling water. Use your poker to get all the air bubbles out from between the pieces. Lid and ring on lightly, finger-tight. 15psi for 90 minutes. If you buy a bunch of beef bones you can pressure can homemade beef broth this way too. And in the process, you can skim and further render down a half margarine dish sized batch of nice hard white tallow for cooking.

I understand Honda is like the gold standard of portable generators

yeah the 30 Hondas holding up on construction sites is wild — that durability track record speaks louder than specs. with theft being the real problem, you securing them or just accepting the loss?
