I've used one of the amazon bargain propane generators that were discussed on this board. They go on sale occasionally for $600.
Amazon.com: DuroMax XP1EH, 8 Running Watts/1 Starting Watts, Dual Fuel Powered Portable Generator: Patio, Lawn & Garden
I usually just run 1/8" rod on about 120 amps. This was using a ESAB 161 inverter welder.
What is it with the link generator dropping zeros? That should be Amazon.com: DuroMax XP1EH, 8000 Running Watts/10000 Starting Watts, Dual Fuel Powered Portable Generator: Patio, Lawn & Garden
Anyways, I picked up one for $650 last year, runs great. I think several others have been using the same generator for welding. I've not seen the price drop below $650.

My son used it for a few days last summer due to a power outage and we used it again this summer to power construction tools when power was turned off at the site.. We run it on LP.
