Generator

If you're gonna get a generator at least have the courtesy to get a quiet one. Don't be one of those people with a generator that's too loud to keep in your own pit. To that end, the Honda EU, Onan Quietgen and Yamaha YG series seem to be the best around.

	Honda EU1000 This one is hardly and bigger than a lunch box and so quiet you could sleep on it. Noise Level: 59 dB @ Max Load Weight: 29 Pounds Fuel Tank: 0.6 Gallons Run Time: 3.8 Hours @ Max Load
	Honda EU2000 This is the one that I have. Good for 2 sets of tire warmers theoretically. Detailed specifications are here. Noise Level: 59 dB @ Max Load Weight: 46.3 Pounds Fuel Tank: 1.1 Gallons Run Time: 4 Hours @ Max Load
	Honda EU3000 This one seems to be the most popular with the fun mover crowd. It's even quiter than the other two and it's got wheels to make moving it around really pleasant. Noise Level: 58 dB @ Max Load Weight: 134 Pounds Fuel Tank: 3.4 Gallons Run Time: 7.2 Hours @ Max Load

59 Decibels is almost as loud as an air conditioner or someone talking in a conversation - they're that quiet. See klenger.net for more information on generator noise levels. Powermadeeasy.com seems to have the cheapest prices for these guys (~$600 for the EU1000 & ~$850 for the EU2000) and mayberrys.com ain't too bad either.
