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.

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.

Propane indoors is very dangerous.

Propane is heavier than air. Any unburned propane will eventually "pool" in low places. Ultimately, there could be a very big BOOM.
