So many dangers. Do you know if it is dangerous to use a camping Coleman stove (propane) in house. I'm thinking about when power goes out.
If not vented, I believe it may be..... I know for sure BBQ's are dangerous no matter what.
1) It is an open flame. If you or your kids are not used to that, it could be a new danger. 2) The stove will put off carbon monioxide, which is deadly in a non-ventilated room. I would recommend cooking on your (open air) porch or patio, or make sure you have a window open inside.
Very unwise and Coleman specifically tells you not to do it. During the blackout a couple of years back I just took mine out on the balcony and cooked out there. Could be unpleasant in a storm, though.
This is a text lift that's standard in Coleman instruction manuals:
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD • This appliance can produce carbon monoxide which has no odor. • Using it in an enclosed space can kill you. • Never use this appliance in an enclosed space such as a camper, tent, car or home.
you might want to go to the Coleman.com site and see what it says about using it in the house.
I figure that people use gas ranges (on propane if they live in the country) so what's the problem with camp stoves? And with the power out, you would probably have the windows open.
BTW what part of NC? I live in Norfolk, but I was born 10th generation Carteret County (Beaufort/Morehead City/Newport).
Do not use it inside.
