CO detector to meetings. Most of us have well insulated shops due to our
climate -20� to -40�F is the norm in the winter. Even with a door open a
coal forge can have a 500 square foot shop to 400 parts per million (ppm)of
CO in minutes. Propane seems to sit at 8 ppm per forge. One of the ways I
tune my propane forge is by monitoring my CO output. Both Propane and Coal
use up oxygen.  I just saying this for everyone to be aware that CO can be a
problem, If you have any symptoms of CO poisoning ie: slight headache,
fatique, dizziness or nausea; then get out. Be Carefull Out There
