If you don't like the drone of a small generator, you're going to HATE the bark of a 706 running a PTO generator all night.
Do you have neighbors? They're going to run you out of town on a rail after the first power outage, and you fire up that 706.

Just having the door open isn't enough. You need THROUGH ventilation. If the wind is coming from the right direction with the door open, it just acts as a "ram air" scoop and pushes the exhaust right into the house!
