There were idiots on the news here claiming a gas stove would kill you. But the atmospheric measurements were taken in a small kitchen doors closed and the vent fan turned of. I mean FMD. Clearly rigged to get what they wanted,,,,, more money.

Its happened in a tent here. Carbon monoxide poisoning. And this: https://www.odt.co.nz/regions/southl...burner-dangers Wasn't rigged and wasn't for money.

More than once, in tents, caravans, boats, shacks, caves, mines and houses. But, IF (and I'll be the first to admit that this is unlikely due to the level of idiot that usually tries to operate these things) - IF the precautions are followed there is a much reduced risk of using gas burners indoors. And most of that revolves around the long-term effects of increased moisture levels which carry combustion by products into the living environment.

If you deliberately operate a gas burning appliance indoors for testing purposes without following the safety precautions you are either trying to rig the test results, don't know what you are doing or deliberately doing it to highlight the issues and how unsafe the practice is.

That was the game. They were scare mongering.
A gas stove has never been considered unsafe in an average kitchen. All in the name of profit. They were also recommending atmospheric monitoring in your home. What a fkn joke. :lol:

There is always a meta game. You choose if you look for the good, the bad or the conspiracy. It might just be that it was about public good - encouraging people to keep their tight cooking spaces ventilated. The many poor sods who are dead from carbon monoxide poisoning could have done with that advice.
