In this episode of The Build Show, Matt reviews a new Champion 11,000-watt tri-fuel generator that can run on gasoline, propane, or natural gas. Joined by his business partner Tim Hill, Matt breaks down the generator’s specs and real-world uses — for home backup power, job sites, and RV camping.
Key highlights include:
Remote start/stop feature with quiet 64 dB operation.
Tri-fuel capability (gasoline, propane, or natural gas) and long runtime — about 15 hours at 25% load on gasoline.
Explanation of power outputs and plug types, including 50-amp and 30-amp options for homes and RVs.
Discussion of soft start capacitors for running air conditioners without overloading.
“Clean power” output with <3% total harmonic distortion (THD) — safe for electronics and even EV charging.
Safety features like CO₂ auto shutoff and recommendations for outdoor operation only.
Job site demo powering saws and tools using a 50-amp spider box.
