Yes, a diesel genset
Size it to run at 3/4 of max as that is about the peak for fuel efficiency.
Maxing them runs them too rich. Like being behind an 18 wheeler on a hill.
With biofuel the exhaust is much more benign. The soydiesel project in Missouri
was running soy powered forklifts in a warehouse. Try that with pump diesel.
Drop you to your knees. They said with soy it was like a propane powered forklift.

No electric stove. Could you elaborate a bit on the
details, please? What hardware are we talking about?
Solar panels, diesel genset? I can definitely see using
the waste heat from a genset in my radiant underfloor
heating system in the winter. A little harder to use the
waste heat in the summer, but maybe the hottub, showers,
etc. can use some of it.....
BTW, thanks to all for your replies.
