What you have is no engineering marvel. Under the wrong conditions it could be dangerous.
You are absolutely correct that this would not be appropriate for someone who vents furnaces and things for a living.
But... This is a very temporary setup and I have to say it is working amazingly. There is a good amount of gasses rising from the outlet at the top, no noticeable degradation of the generator performance and no detectable fumes.
