I'm hoping you can tell me if this plan makes any sense.
I recently had a transfer switch installed so I can keep my meats frozen and my house warm in the event of an extended power outage. I have yet to buy my generator but I feel like a dual fuel generator would be a good idea since propane stores so well. Meanwhile, having built my outdoor kitchen myself, I've been worried about running a natural gas line to the kitchen because I have this reoccurring nightmare that the city inspector comes out and says I built the kitchen too close to the property line and they order that I tear it down.
So I'm thinking what if I get a big propane tank and install it in my side yard between the generator inlet and the outdoor kitchen. They are relatively close to one another. Could I then run 3 lines to my 3 propane cookers and have a quick connect ready to attach my generator when I need it? While I'm at it is there a limit to how many lines I could run in case I want a heater, or a wok burner, etc. as well?
There's a metal gate just behind that ax you can see over the kamado. Just on the other side of the gate is where I would install the tank.
