I have one recipe that starts with stir frying 10 Thai chiles in a wok. I was cooking a dinner and there was a blizzard outdoors so I decamped to the basement on the opposite side of the house where everybody was. When I came upstairs with the finished dish, everybody was coughing and mopping their eyes and noses, even the cats were coughing.

And yes, the basement had windows and I'd opened them and set up the gas ring adjacent to one. I never did that recipe again unless the weather was good enough for me to do it outdoors.

There must be some sort of air filtering setup they can use. I'd hate to be without my napalm.
