THIS IS FROM A HEATING AND COOLING CO. in INDIANA

[Bernardo de La Paz]

50. Any wood heating: use a Carbon MONOXIDE detector. Don't burn anything else.

Do not burn charcoal or anything else inside an enclosed structure: it will generate Carbon Monoxide. You can burn coal in specially designed coal heaters with proper exhaust and proper cleaning of the exhaust flues.

Make sure your wood fireplace draws well. Do not burn wood in anything except a properly designed and maintained wood stove or fireplace. Even then make sure your Carbon Monoxide detector is has good batteries and tests properly.

Do not run a generator inside a enclosed structure with humans, not even a garage. The exhaust contains deadly Carbon Monoxide.

Carbon Monoxide kills with no warning. You lose consciousness without realizing it and then there is no hope; you are dead and gone. It has no smell. It is colorless. It only takes very small quantities measured in parts per million to kill (OSHA limits exposure to 50 ppm).

I didn't see these warnings in my scan of the thread.
