A discussion in another thread brought this question to me. We are caught in a very bad part of the SW Missouri Ice Storm power outage. We were fortunate in having a wood stove backup (never be without one). Our biggest problem is water. Our well pump runs on electricity and we have none. I was about to buy a generator in the 5000 range. Someone suggested that 2000 is enough to get by and burns half the fuel.
Question; will 2000-2500 run a well pump, and a few lights in the house?

Any advice is appreciated.
