Totally agree.
You also have to worry about fumes with portable units.
That can get expensive though.
You might consider a vented propane heater (not to expensive) and a small inverter generator (e.g ~2000 watts) to plug the fridge in directly. That would be more manageable both weight and technicalities.
Like this inverter generator. The 6500 watt Generac OP is looking at probably cost similar.

There are cheaper heaters. I don’t think this needs power to run.

For an installed standby generator you might be talking $6000 or more installed.
