Isn't CO (and other combustion byproducts) an issue? When cooking a meal the duration is short enough to not matter much, but at extended durations to provide heat I would think this is a bad idea, unless you monitor air quality enough to run a vented range hood at the optimization point between unhealthy and wasting most of the heat you're generating.
- izolate 4y agoI agree that these byproducts can be an issue. However, in the context of a life-threatening situation like a power blackout in a blizzard, where the alternative is death from exposure to the cold, running a gas stove for a long duration may be an acceptable risk.
