Couldn't make out the EcoFlow model. How many KWH does it have available for the furnace? Is your plan to be able to ride out an outage of a few hours or some number of days?
Sorry I just saw your question. This is the eco-flow 1800 Watt unit. 1260 watt- hours. As it turns out it can run the furnace for about 8 hours with it cycling on and off during a winter night. Then we use our Honda generator to recharge the Eco flow Delta and start all over again. Actually we have two Eco flows so we can be charging one while using the other.
Good question. We use a neutral grounding plug on our Honda generator which bonds the open ground and permits the power/surge protector to operate. No need for metal staking the generator to ground this way.

Where did you get the outdoor receptacle and what kind is it please?
Oh yes, I bought it on amazon. It is basically the kind that you would buy for an RV to plug an extension cord into your RV to provide 120 volt power.
why 12/2 and not 12/3 ?
