Buckle up, folks! This Weekday Update is all about storm prep and the shiny new generator that’s about to become my best buddy. I’m diving into the nitty-gritty of why this tri-fuel powerhouse is a game-changer for tackling those pesky power outages that come with a good ol' snowstorm. But that's not all; we're also spilling the tea on some concerning consumer recalls—like those electric ranges that might just turn your kitchen into a fire hazard if a pet decides to get a little too curious. And speaking of kitchens, I’ll share the one thing you should absolutely never put on your cooktop, because seriously, who needs a trip to the emergency room when you're just trying to whip up dinner? So grab your headphones and let’s get this storm-prepping party started!

Winter is knocking at the door, and Eric G is here to help you answer it with style—starting with storm preparations! This week’s episode is all about getting ready for the big storm hitting Portland, and Eric is pumped about his brand new trifuel generator. This 12,000 watt powerhouse isn’t just any old generator; it comes equipped with a carbon monoxide shield, ensuring that when the lights go out, you’re still in the safety zone. Eric reminisces about his previous struggles with gas generators—let's just say running out of gas in a snowstorm is not the kind of adventure anyone wants. With this trifuel option, he can now kick back and let the generator do the work, whether it’s running on natural gas, propane, or gasoline. Who needs to run out in the snow for gas when you can stay cozy indoors?

Takeaways:

In storm prep, having a generator like the new tri-fuel one means no more gas runs during outages, which is a total win!
Consumer recalls are serious business—like the LG ranges with knobs that could ignite a fire just by being brushed against, yikes!
Never, I mean NEVER, put anything flammable like wood or cutting boards on your cooktop—it's a recipe for disaster, literally!
Stay aware of recalls, especially those with button batteries; they can be a hazard for little hands and curious pets alike.
