I tried to run my furnace off an inverter. The start up was fine, but
the blower wouldn't run. So, I conclude the blower is the major energy
user.

Years ago, a guy I knew had the power out. My ETQ brand generator,
rated 1200 watts, worked fine. The furnace was old, and very heavy. I
didn't check the amperage, though I wish I had. That's just one man's
experience, one time. Newer furnaces may use a lot less power. The one
time I checked mine, I think I remember it took about 7 amps.

What you really need to know, is the voltage and amperage of the
blower
