Important to note after some reading (and professionals please chime in)

DOs:

Do unplug the equipment you are going to run and plug into a quality surge strip connected to a thick, heavy duty extension cord connected to genset. Remember, the longer the cord, the higher quality & lower gauge it must be to handle the output. Skinny cheap cords can melt / fire and will increase resistance - they all do it the further distance you go.

Don't plug in computers / electronics unless on a UPS/battery / Line conditioner of some sort. The power coming in on a generator is not very clean and unless filtered can mess up equipment. Laptops are slightly less dependent on this.

Some high end audio / video equipment doesn't even like normal UPS devices.

DON'Ts:

Don't EVER plug your generator into the home premise wiring (I have seen people elsewhere stating to do just this) unless done by a professional with all the right protections. As noted above you can introduce power to the main lines and electrocute a line worker. Pretty pleeze

(And don't buy Monster - you probably paying double to triple for the name)
