My greenhouse normally gets heated with paraffin

At what 30p/l?

I wondered about using a small generator to power an electric heater
and also lighting if feasible.

Think, man, think!

Use fuel to provide electricity, and you waste energy in the generation,
the transmission and in turning the electricity to heat. It would cost
you about a third as much to burn the fuel to produce the heat.

Feasable but not very economic if using a petrol genny with fuel at
90p/l (most of which is duty to MHG...) similar for diesel unless you
can get red diesel in small quantities nearby, which should cost about
the same as parrafin.

Red diesel is a *LOT* cheaper than paraffin.
