I am trying to prepare for various scenarios in an urban setting and have been relying heavily on the combined knowledge of all of you forum posters. The thing I'm having the most trouble finding information on is what fuels, if any, can safely be burned inside my house in the event of a "snowstorm with power outage" scenario without having to go outside or open a window and let out all the trapped heat. I've search these forums and the web for info and all I get is contradictory advice. It seems like alcohol is okay, but petroleum-based fuels are not.

Does anyone know with any certainty what I can and can't use to heat water or cook food that won't fill the house with CO? Also, do you have any recommendations for stoves that use safe fuels?

Thanks,
PFB
