The main problem here is safety for the utility linemen/women if/WHEN you backfeed power to the utility line.
First of all you need a breaker box with a service entrance main breaker....100... 200a. You can't have the old rule of 7 where you can't have more than 7 switches to flip to kill power to the house. Reason is that the dryer will be one of the 6 main 240 circuits directly wired to the meter just as your other high current loads. You cannot backfeed to the power box without backfeeding to the utility.
Ok so you have a main power inlet breaker. Fine! Now all you have to remember to do is to turn it off BEFORE you power up and NEVER FORGET!
Not a good idea and If I were a lineman I'd shake my finger at you. Might just pull your meter and service if I caught you doing it!
The thing about portables is the use of extension cords where you plug directly into the gen, not the regular house outlet. Then no chance of a backfeed.
The thing about permanent installations is the transfer switch where there is a 100% chance there will be NO backfeed, barring a catastrophic event in the power box and after looking at my transfer switch mechanism, that is highly unlikely, highly.
