How best to connect a generator, HELP !!

Brownie, find an electrician and have him run a cable from the generator to your electric clothes dryer plug and feed your whole house from the generator through the dryer plug to the CB panel. You will have to shut of a lot of circuits but you can select the circuits you want to run. Just do not overload the generator. Also make sure the generator is located out side so the fumes from the exhaust doesn't get in the house.

With all the hurricanes down here in Florida a lot of folks have their generators hooked up this way and do not have to suffer long periods with out power. Muff

The guy said he had poor health. The method you advocate violates basic safety ideas and can kill someone if he or maybe someone who might be helping him doesn't open the right breakers. An transfer switch is the right way to do this.

Just in case somebody doesn't realize that Muff is trolling, do not do this. It is illegal, violates the NEC, and also is extremely dangerous, especially the LIVE male plug. They don't call that a dead man's cord for nothing. Not to mention it dcould easily electrocute a lineman who is trying to restore power.

Best practice (and also most convenient) is to have a transfer switch wired for the generator. They aren't terribly expensive and any competent electrican can wire one easily.

I hate to say this but you are an idiot giving improper advice that could cost someone their life. What you proposed is called a 'suicide' plug and is a good way to kill some lineman working on cable repairs.
