So, just looking for some experienced user to point me in the right
direction pertaining to the proper use of extension cords from
generator to house.

not at all interested in the backfeed scenario, seems to be a bit more
hazardous to people and machines.

Thanks for any and all responses, advice and help.


Consider buying or making up cords with Twistlock fittings. Besides
being far less prone to coming apart when you most need them, they
tend to be shunned by thieves because the fittings are different. All
bets off if the bad guys are just salvaging copper, of course.
Twistlocks are becoming pretty common on construction sites, and Bosch
even sells a Twistlock version of the famous Skillsaw Mag 77.
