WOrks great.

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is one of those things that has to be dealt with
according to the worst possible outcome: dead bodies. I'm not an expert,
and I've taken my share of chances, but I don't run generators next to
open windows or inside garages.

I have a "Catalytic" heater that I used to take on camping trips: it
runs on Naphtha and throws a *LOT* of heat very quickly. I always insist
on keeping a window open and a door ajar when I've got it going, and I
*NEVER* keep it running while I'm asleep.

Now, you might wonder why I tell you all this. Frankly, it's because I
feel like an old fuddy-duddy every time I play it safe, and I wonder if
it's all hype put out by the insurance companies.

Still, I take the precautions. Until someone convinces me otherwise,
when it comes to Carbon Monoxide, I'm a live coward.
