Thanks for the links, will read up on this. We sleep with the
windows and vent cracked even if there's no heat running! But I wonder, when I'm cooking with two burners on the stove going, if the openings I have are sufficient. For instance, I don't have a fan over the stove, just a hood with a little metal louvered door at the back. Is THAT enough to keep us safe while I'm cooking?
And yes, I would totally use a LB heater in the morning and in the evening if I were having trouble with my
furnace. Cooking warms us up admirably, but not from the waist down.
We are working now on getting CM and
propane alarms. BTW, Costco now has a little drum-style smoke detector, with a
battery that is supposed to be good for ten years. There are two in the package, which runs about $30. They're about the size of a walnut or a plum.
