It won't hurt to test your idea.
usually a 2500 watt generator is 2500 max 1250 watts constant, so if you could find a 1250 watt log splitter then yes, but it is hard to find such a wimpy log splitter, usually the 5 ton ones are at least 1500 watts, a 2500 max generator might be able to hold 1500 watts for a few seconds before it cut out, so it is possible, but a 4000 watt max generator (2000 watt steady) should be able to run a log splitter that takes up to 2000 watts without any hicups. by the time you bought both the generator and the electric splitter you could just buy a gas powered splitter instead.
You will have to purchase a voltage converter that converts 220 volts to 110 volts. They are fairly inexpensive. Do not try to run your 110 volt appliances on 220 volts without a converter because you will damage them and could cause a fire.
run what one takes more power????
converters are usually listed in Watts output- sometimes with a surge wattage about 2 times the normal running wattage- motors usually have a surge need to start and then even out- so assuming this motor runs at 14amp= Watts = volts X amps, you should need 1540 watt converter- 2000 watt converter to be safe

It depends on the amperage's of the appliances. You should be able to draw, Amps = Watts/Volts, 2500/120 = 20.8 amps at 120 volts.
Check the catalytic converter.

You should not run gas from the furnace to any appliances.

A 1000 watt generator cannot run a 1500 watt ceramic heater without having problems.

If you remove a catalytic converter, you are breaking the law. It is a $2500 fine. It will not run right anyway, because of the oxygen sensor after the catalytic system. You are just going to get horrible fuel mileage if the cat is removed, and a check engine light that is annoying as hell.
Normally speaking, a 3500 watt generator can typically power appliances such as refrigerator (500-800 watts), laptop (50-100 watts), television (100-400 watts), stereo system (200-400 watts), air conditioner (1,000-2,000 watts), electric stove (1,000-2,500 watts), lights (50-100 watts). It's important to check the specific power requirements of your appliances as they can vary.
No, it is illegal to remove a converter and besides the engine will not run correctly with the converter removed.
