Yes, Propane is good but requires consideration in cold weather.  I have 
a dual-fuel generator, gasoline and Propane, which is a great comfort, 
but at 50F or below I have to set the tank to be warmed by heat from the 
engine or it won't go.  Once I was exercising it on Propane at 50F and 
it quit with a quarter inch of ice on the tank. I think permanent 
installations have tank heaters, and block heaters on the engine.
