I don't care if you used to burn your furniture in the middle of your

floor during outtages. It still doesn't make burning natural gas without
a
chimney and without tight fuel mixture regulation a good idea. You're the
kind
of person we read about in the morning papers who did something similarly
incredibly stupid using the fact that they it hadn't killed them yet as
proof
that it was ok.

You really should take your life more seriously. Get a motel room if
you're
without heat; visit friends or family with a fireplace. Invest in some
good
sleeping bag.


Wow, a gen-u-whine card-carrying USDA-Prime *sshole. Don't see many
of those anymore now that the garden variety has taken over.

I'm curious Mr. 'hole. If burning natural gas (and propane I assume)
without a chimney is such a bad idea they why are there so many gas
stoves, unvented heaters, catalytic heaters and gas mantle lights out
there, all operating without problems? Tell me that, o' sayer of
sooth.

Oh wait. Captain Obvious has arrived with the answer. These devices
are DESIGNED to be used indoors without a chimney. They work fine.
Thank you, Capt'n...

Thank you for saving me the trouble. Despite AZ Nomad's lecture, I wasn't
worried at the time, and would not be worried about it now. This is the same
gas range I COOKED on, and that never killed me. Nor did I leave it running
for hours, or running while out of the room or asleep. Heat a pot of water,
and turn it off till the water got cold again. Yes, I did sleep in a
sleeping bag and long johns on those occasions.
