Not really worried about asphyxiation, honestly. Our house is not the airtight wonder of the northern regions...I was just mentioning that air WAS circulating, so it wasn't just a sealed-in, stagnant mess. That's all.

As far as grease in my computer...?

The whole side of my computer is open anyhow. I don't bother putting the panels back on the case as I tinker to maintain the damn thing.

I don't sweat the small stuff. Dinner takes a high priority.

Bounty is right about the CO danger. If used only for cooking then 20-30 minutes with good ventilation should be safe. But if I recall, CO poisening is cumulative. And I think that all fossil fuels put out CO at varying levels of toxicity. Please be careful and use adequate ventilation and NEVER use it for heating (you probably already know that--just an FYI.)

Panzerboy:

Norad45 is right about CO being cumulative in the bloodstream.

Circulating air IS NOT the same as fresh air exchange! Any CO you circulate can still make it into your bloodstream even if it goes all the way through the house.

Do your cooking next to an open window as CO builds up fastest with combustion that lacks sufficient oxygen.

Good luck!
