: are you crazy ?! or what ?!

: we have enough deads while paddling, we don't need any deads while building !

: as you know, open flame heaters release co .

: co is a gas with no color no odor & is heavier than air - the perfect
: crime !

: no color - you don't see it.

: no odor - you can't smell it.

: so, to begin with, you can't tell when it's there !

: There are co detectors that starts making noise when they see it, but in your
: case it won't matter since you are underground & the co is heavier than
: air,
: so even if you detect it, it will stay there - I assume the door in your
: workshop is higher than the floor & that there are stairs going down to
: that floor. I also assume there are no windows.

: now the 3rd part - I'm not a chemist, but this is pretty simple: each c
: (carbon) likes 2 o's (oxygen), but it only has one o, because ,well, it's
: "co",
: so....it takes another o from the air around it, so you are left without
: oxygen & you die, it's quiet & painless, you just fall asleep - the
: perfect kill !

: in your case I recommend electricity - not heating bodies, just lamps.

: what people here are usually looking for is heat to make their epoxy cure,
: & their solution is usually some kind of nylon tent/frame over that wood
: with a lamp under the wood, so it creates reasonably warm environment for the
: wood without open flame & the risk of overtemp.

: in the past I brought up the idea of starting a car's engine in the garage
: with
: a sealed hose from the car's exhaust outside, since what the engine produce
: most is heat. but this thing won't work in your basement.

: & something else, do you have kids running around ?

: well, kids & co don't go together. one of them have to give, just make
: sure
: the co will give first.

: hey man, I just saved your life,

I really apreciate your concern but up here in New England we use K-heaters quite a bit. In fact I'm probably among a minority up here because I never owned
one. Most of my friends have one or two for living areas. I was merely wondering
if anyone had any problems with, specificly, soot or amine blush due to a
kerosene heater. Thanks again.
