Les: I'm interested in your idea for a small ( Asian?) butane stove & extra cartridges. We live in an all electric high-rise, without an open terrace. Our present back-up stove is an old two burner Coleman Fuel / unleaded gas, hand pump camping stove. The CO danger, even near an open window, has always concerned me. Butane is, in my understanding, cleaner burning than liquid fuel. So which model do you recommend? What kind of burn time does S cartridge give you? Add all the usual questions?
Hi,
Unless you're using the stoves for space heating (6 hours at a time no ventilation),
whatever stoves you're using,
carbon monoxide should be manageable with windows/door ventilation
(1 hour cooking 3 a day day)
especially above ground level (more wind )
If you're using smelly fuels (kerosene, briquettes...)
and you're still smelling that
or smelling smoke
after the stove gets going (5-10min),
you might want to take that outside like 25 feet away from building
Some info about
carbon monoxide and ventilation and legal pants
