That must be the stove using the lantern fuel, propane fuel does not produce CO when you burn it, statement, fact.

OK.

I'll let you be the first to try it.

Or maybe you'd like to ask some of the people who died trying to do the same thing during the ice storm of '98, in my neck of the woods.

Let's move from CO to Rita, if I can get in a last lick on propane camping stoves used **indoor arenas** ;)

** are mine:

http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm4832a1.htm

"During 1979-1988 in the United States, from 878 to 1513 deaths per year were attributed to unintentional CO poisoning (1). CO poisoning has been reported in many different settings, including homes (5), automobiles (6), and **indoor arenas** (7).

**The findings in this report demonstrate the danger of CO from portable gas stoves and charcoal grills, specifically if placed inside a tent or other confined sleeping area.**

In the United States during 1990-1994, portable fuel-burning camp stoves and lanterns were involved in 10-17 CO poisoning deaths each year, and charcoal grills were involved in 15-27 deaths each year (2). During this same time, an annual average of 30 fatal CO poisonings occurred inside tents or campers (2).
