Answer 5

Wood burning is worse than gas for carbon monoxide!

Answer 6

Any fire can produce carbon monoxide if it is starved for oxygen. Gas fireplaces burn so clean that if they leak into the room no odor alarms you to the presence of carbon monoxide. If a wood fire leaks, the room stinks and you quickly event out the smoke.

Answer 7

As others have stated , the only real threat of CO poisoning you have (unless you like to fire up the Bar-B-Que grill in your living room) is your heating system. Basically anything that is burning can create CO. While the use of a CO detector is highly recommended ,if you read virtually any of the manufacturers' info they will tell you the detector should be used in conjunction with proper maintenance and inspection of your gas,oil or wood burning appliances.... CO detectors have been found to have a wide range of accuracy and should not REPLACE proper HVAC maintenance.. HAVE A QUALIFIED HVAC TECH INSPECT THE GAS HEATER EVERY YEAR BEFORE THE SEASON YOU USE IT BEGINS ! and no hibachis in the bedroom ;-P
