FYI I know electricians who do it that way.
Can you ask them one specific technical question?

The generator is equipped with one 30A receptacle that takes a four prong twist lock connector.

Clearly, two prongs are for the hot leads and one prong is for the neutral lead.

Is the fourth simply a ground lead?

The dryer doesn't utilize a ground lead..............just the two hots and a neutral.

Is it mandatory to wire the fourth lead back to the ground bus in the panel?
