Am I only using 50% of my generators output?

Two more.

Hard to tell from just a photo, but the current-carrying conductors look to be #6, which is good.  Unfortunately, the ground is too small -- ground wires are permitted to be at most one trade size smaller than the current-carrying wires.  I also can not tell from the photo whether or not the correct fitting has been used for the MC cable.

As I wrote earlier, this is an incorrect receptacle for this application, so that, at minimum, needs to be fixed (although you will need to do something else anyway, in order to get more power from the unit).

If those loose red and black wires are the generator controls, they are permitted to be supported by the metal-clad output cable, as shown, otherwise they are not, and should be supported separately.

To follow up on my earlier email, we will definitely be back in cell phone range by tomorrow (Monday) evening.  I will try to give you a call tomorrow afternoon.
