Default Inverter generator Do I need that?

I've seen a few. IIRC, most can be converted for natural gas or propane.
However, I don't know about installing this on a inverter generator. A
small generator (3kw?) can use a 20 pound propane tank. Larger ones can
take 2 or more tanks (or a larger tank).

I'd keep minimal gas on hand for the occasional outage but for a big
storm, there is enough notice to stock up.
