I have an emergency natural gas stove in case we loose power, I worry about the carbon monoxide , is it reliable?

I believe so. I have not had it very long but it did go off when I turned on my heater first time this year so I would say yes. I hope that helps.

I Would Say, No. Mine Wouldn't Respond To Holding The Test Button In Even With The Batteries Installed Correctly.

These are unvented heaters. Carbon monoxide gas is given off in the burning process, which has no smell and can be deadly. I have used mine as a supplemental heat source, keeping my house set at 60degrees and using a wood stove to keep the house at a comfortable level while people are home. I have CO2 sensors throughout my house... not willing to take chances. My house was built almost 100years ago... so it's not real tight, this also helps eliminate carbon monoxide.

I have a gas stove, but it's been my experience that they cook evenly. I'm very happy with this set.

No. You do not want to trap air from a gas heater. Carbon monoxide gas is dangerous.

I'm currently having the same issue. I bought a hand held gas detector & discovered that my new stove has a slight leak from one of the rings! I am waiting on a part from the stove manufacturer to be available (by next week) and will see if it changes the situation! I will recalibrate as directed by the supplier of the hood and will follow up here when I feel either all is okay or status quo!

I have a gas stove but don't see that you would have a problem. It is a a high quality stainless steel bottom.

No. This is a wood burning stove, not only is it a fire hazard it's also a CO/smoke hazard. Like how you can't have an open fire indoors, nor can you use this stove indoors. The only possibility it may be safe is to use it in the fireplace, if you have a fireplace and you know how to use it.

As long as u nake sure the heat control is set right, no gas leak. We have no carbon dioxide leakage. I cannot see a problrn with running a. Line anywhere in the house as long as u do it right. U might ask kozy world for specifics. We have it ibstalled in our kitchrn (1938 built house) and a gas fireplace in livibg room (520 sqft house) and it is very efficient! Last year we. Had power bills over $150 a month plus gas bill of $40 per. Month in winter. We have been using this since September and the total gas and electric for 2 months is only $120. I am not an expert (has been drip under pressure) but we love our kozy workd heater.

I don't have a manual, however, I can say that mine ran several months without incident of CO, and I was venting the exhaust indoors. It was an unoccupied indoor garden, but it did have a CO monitor to make sure there were no dangers during watering times and such. I would use a CO monitor around any burning appliance now. We have the technology and it's fairly inexpensive. But in any case mine burned Clean if that helps your decision. I wouldn't vent it against manufacturer specs like I did,however mine performed fine.

Thanks everyone for you comments. I have a carbon monoxide detector right out from my stove. We have also installed a fan over top of the unit. I guess it can't burn the fumes fast enough like gordyh was talking. If it gets worse will have a teck check it out. Again I would like to thank you all. Didn't think I would get a reply.

Check with your gas company. Our propane company recommended one for safety.

Sorry, I don't know. My cooktop is Wolf with natural gas... Will say that should the pan wear out or suffer damage from normal use, the distributor does replace once shown pix of the pan.

Usually a stove, like a refrigerator, needs a dedicated outlet. I wouldn't trust it for a stove.

This link explains that carbon monoxide is a heavy gas and so, a plug in model should be quite safe: http://www.ehow.com/way_5230838_location-locate-carbon-monoxide-detector.html I happen to have one at the top of our staircase near bedrooms (not a plug-in, but battery operate & mounted on the wall). The plug-in is on our first floor relatively near our LPG fireplace and above our oil burner, which is in the basement down below.Thank you for your question. It helped me to search to make sure our detector locations are proper. :-)

I have used this stove indoors when I have had need of an extra burner, but I have not used it during a power outage.
