What about carbon monoxide?

You must have good ventilation. Do not use it in the house, camper or RV. Even when camping, ventilation is #1. We use ours at the little league games.

Hi, If you use the sportcat outdoors its not a problem. If you use it indoors you will need some outside ventilation(windows open slightly so there is some airflow). I have used the sportcat at my cabin alot and we always have a couple of windows cracked and we have had no trouble. I read in the info on it that it releases less CO than say a Coleman burner. My last thought is maybe if you have concerns you could buy a Carbon Monoxide sensor ( size of a smoke detector ) and use them together. I have had and used mine for years and like it alot. I hope my ramblings have help. Good luck, Pam

TiffanyThere is ALWAYS a risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning when ANY gas or wood heating device is used in a confined area. When you use this product on ANY other hearing product your need to be sure to provide adequate ventelationRandy

Subject to confirmation from your local fireman, burning propane produces carbon dioxide and water - so no threat from carbon monoxide. However, propane should not be kept in doors. It is heavier than air and highly flammable. A leak is difficult to detect and can accumulate in a low area. A spark could readily ignite the propane, making for a very difficult day. The plumbing on this heater is fully exposed to wayward bumps and nicks.

remember carbon monoxide will build up. I never sleep with heater on. I installed a carbon monoxide detector.

No. This detector is not a carbon monoxide detector. It does detect smoldering fires, which regular detectors usually miss until it is too late.

yes. carbon monoxide is a silent killer. you should have both a smoke detector and a carbon monoxide detector. just be aware that while cooking the carbon monoxide detector could/prob will go off so you might want to take the batteries out.

No harm. The effective chemical to kill gophers, etc., is carbon monoxide (CO), which replaces oxygen in blood. The CO from an idling vehicle quickly dissipates in open air, no different than from stopping for a red stop light.

My house just had a city inspection for safety and a carbon monoxide alarm was required. It was recommended to me that it be low as carbon monoxide tends to stay low to the ground. That's what I was told, so this plug in sounds perfect.

The filter is designed to eliminate particulate matter, ( dust, pollen, paint over-spray, etc.). It will NOT offer protection from Carbon Monoxide.

Any gas stove expells carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, this is why gas cooktops are vented. That being said, I have used mine as the sole source of heat in my pickup all winter when my heater core went out. 1 to 2 hurs at a time in traffic. Crack some windows, you should be fine for cooking inside. Remember, venting is good.

This product worked extremely well for my mole and vole problem. If the rats are in a confined space it will work. However, the carbon monoxide is dangerous and must be contained.

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. :-)

High up on a wall, but avoid any dead air areas. These must be where there can be air movement so carbon monoxide can be detected.

Since carbon monoxide is heavier than breathable air, a spot waist high or so seems reasonable. Some areas require by code mounting it on the same floor as rooms used for sleeping. I mounted mine in this manner and the code inspector signed off on it. Hope this helps.

I'm going to say no. Although this dectector will detect numerous types of gas, it is intended as a combustible gas detector... which carbon monoxide is not - it is a by product of combustible gas. Also keep in mind it is a leak detector and not designed for open air use.

No. Never you could die. No kidding the carbon monoxide produced by this is deadly.

No!! It uses a fuel, that when burned, emits carbon monoxide. ONLY use outdoors.

Senses CO2. Smaller than a smoke alarm. I think it lasts 10 years. I just installed it a couple of months agao.
