Before you start Before starting up your generator, read the manufacturer's recommendations carefully. Only a flashlight could shed more light on this subject. Carbon monoxide poisoning Don't linger Camping stoves and barbecues are not designed for indoor use, even if you open the doors and windows. The same is true for equipment approved for use inside tents. They all discharge carbon monoxide, a highly toxic gas that can quickly spread in air.
Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless.
It cannot be detected without specialized equipment. Some fuel-burning devices have hoses to discharge gases outdoors. If you use them, make sure that the hoses do what they are supposed to and the gas is not being brought back inside or coming back in through the window, for example. If you could be exposed to this gas, install a carbon monoxide alarm. And while you're at it, why not replace your smoke detector with a device that detects both smoke and carbon dioxide.
