[TheForge] carbon monoxide

Hello 

  I bought a CO/propane detector for my shop as I have
  done all the plumbing myself and wanted to make sure
  I don't have any leaks, etc.  Install has gone fine,
  but now that I have a CO detector I can monitor the
  amount of CO produced by my propane forge.  When it
  comes up to temperature the monitor registers about
  40-50 PPM. I am sure it would keep climbing but I
  open a couple windows, put a fan in for exhaust
  and clear it out.

  My question is: do you all think the forge is tuned
  properly?  Are those kind of readings appropriate?
  What is a good way to vent a forge?
