I have learned that rain can get into the exhaust pipe, especially if the wind is blowing just right. I make it a habit after a rain to run the genset.

Still another good reason for a Carbon Monoxide Alarm!

Steve makes a really really good point. A leak in either the genie or AH exhaust could be a silent killer. I also installed one n the bedroom since my teenagers are prone to sleep in the bedroom on a long trip

Important short story.
The LPG Heater in our cabin went out. Thankfully we had a CO Alarm and I am here today because of it..... We ALL need to have them in the Habitable Interior Spaces!
Thanks Richard, posts like this could save lives.

Tom is going to get a kick out of this. Knowing that I needed to weld some new fitments to fix the exhaust was the impetus I needed to add a fancy mig welder to the garage.

That would depend on what you want to weld. I have a Miller 135 for my MIG. I have a Thermal ARC Inverter for DC Stick and TIG. And I have a LINCOLN Buzz box for AC Stick.
If I was to have only one I would want the Miller 135, 120 Volts AC and very versatile with the different wire sizes. I also choose to use ARGON Gas when using the MIG.
Hope that I didn't loose you.
