I wonder if a portable generator could power the cylinder warmers, too?
We've got the oil pan and cylinder warmers, and the oil is usually warmer
when we start up in winter (verified with our digital oil temperature gauge)
than it is in spring and fall.

Shouldn't be a problem. If I remember right, my cylinder warmers were
about 50 watts a piece. And, although I don't have the pan heater, I
think they're usually about 150 watts. So the max, on a 6 cyl, would be
about 450 watts. I think that's well within the capabilities of even
small generators. I would think the big pain in the butt would be that
fact that it takes electric warmers a reasonable length of time to warm
the engine, which means th generator would be sitting their running for
many hours.
