Default CO death


Each year it seems I read where some idiot is trying to heat their home
with their gas oven and dies from carbon monoxide.
This woman I know found her friend dead because she did that.
Her furnace quit so she turned on the oven .
My question. Gas stoves don't usually have much CO generated...after all
we can have the oven and burners on all day long and no one ever dies
cooking.
Why do people die of CO if they heat their house with the stove?




A quick google search results in quite a few useful web sites.

Our local volunteer Fire Depts. teamed-up to have this video produced
- CO safety awareness - I think they did a real great job of it !
