How do you like those Krosswerks? And which generator did you end up with? I just picked up a barely used set of CH Pole Positions with the 3 temp settings: 130, 155 amd 175. I'll just use my CH standards for back up. Mounted them on a set of old tires and am running them through a duty cycle right now to check the temperatures.

I got the cheap Ebay genny, same as Mike and Joe. Hard to beat for the price...

I was nearly tarred and feathered on another forum for posting about the gens you guys bought and the one I got today.  Of course they all had Hondas. I don't think either of these is any louder than the ones Stickboy had and many of the WERA crew liked those well enough. Peace!

Guy on NESBA boards has a set of dual temp Suzukas for $160 shipped. I know you guys were not super thrilled, but I'm thinking these may be better than nothing. Any thoughts?

I don't think either of these is any louder than the ones Stickboy had and many of the WERA crew liked those well enough. Peace! I generally don't have an issue with people buying cheap generators. But, there is a reason why higher quality ones cost more. Whatever you run, I'd recommend using a quality surge suppressor between the generator and whatever it connected to it. I've seen cheap generators fry electrical stuff. On the topic of tire warmers, I have a set of Woodcraft dual temps. Works perfectly!
