Shed for Pulsar portable generator

I purchased the shed and generator from Sam's Club. The generator is a Pulsar PG12000B dual fuel generator that produces 12,000 peak watts/9,500 running watts on gasoline and 10,800 peak watts/8,550 running watts on propane. The shed is mounted to the base which is made from treated ground contact 4"x4"'s and treated 2"x6"'s, that makes it easy to move the entire thing with the pallet forks on my John Deere 1025R tractor. The exhaust, fan, vent, and solar battery charger were from Amazon. After cutting the holes I filled the cavities with fire block expanding foam.

I have an electrician coming to install a 50 amp outdoor hookup along with an interlock in the panel. They are also installing an Eaton whole house surge suppressor. I am still deciding on either a cold start or warm start kit for the central air to lower the startup amp draw.

The smoke is from the coating on the flexible exhaust pipe, it burnt off after a few minutes.

The investment in the generator setup so far, not including he electricians part, is about $1,650.00. The electrician is charging $550.00 for his part so all in it's around $2,200.00 . The cold start or warm start kit for the central AC will add another $35.00 - $300.00 depending on which way I decide to go with it but I have some time to decide.
