I HIGHLY recommend a manual transfer switch. Easy to install and allows you to safely use internal house wiring (no back feeds, etc.)

Pick 6 or 10 circuits to power, keeps hassle of running extension cords, and you can run ceiling fans, house lights, etc.

I would add to your setup if you can afford it, I have a 10 circuit with my 6K watt and it is very convenient and safe. Makes decision to hookup generator a 5min process during outages.

Here's a cheaper method:

Buy romex, a plug, and a breaker
shut off main
plug into your main panel
turn off everything you don't need
start generator
????
