Question about running a welder off a generator.
I have a Hobart Handler 135 that I'd like to run off a generator so I can fix things that break when I go off roading. It's a 115V welder that draws 20A. All the generators I see are rated in watts. Any idea what size generator I'd need? Thanks guys.

And there we have it. I feel dumb, that was so easy.
Thanks, beepy.
