Default Question on portable generator usage

A glass blower I know expressed interest in my electric glass melting
furnace, he mentioned wanting one to take to events for demonstrations
and powering it from a mobile generator. Now the controller uses a
solid state relay zero crossing switching and burst firing and I imagine
the generator may not like the rapid switching from load to no load and
back. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience of this type of
application. I had wondered about having a dummy heater load the same as
the furnace and switching between to two so the generator saw a constant
load.
