BTU and kilowatt-hours are measures of energy, while power is measured in either kilowatts or BTU per hour.
1 kilowatt-hour is equal to 3412 BTU, or 1 kilowatt equals 3412 BTU/hr.
8000 BTU per hour is equal to 2.344 kilowatts, which is 19.53 amps at 120 v.

In order to determine the amperage supplied by an 8000 watt generator, you need to know the voltage of the generator. You can calculate the amperage by dividing the wattage by the voltage. For example, if the generator operates at 120 volts, the amperage would be 8000 watts / 120 volts = 66.67 amps.
To convert watts to amps at 120 volts, use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. For 1500 watts at 120 volts, the calculation would be: 1500 watts / 120 volts = 12.5 amps.

Watts = Amps x Volts. Amps = Watts/Volts. 10000/120 = 83.3 amps can be used at 120 volts. On a generator that large it is most likely that it also has the capacity to produce 240 volts. 10000/240 = 41.6 amps can be used at 240 volts. What you can connect to the generator will be totals of the amperage of devices that do not go above these amp ratings.
