Mtofell1, I didn't realize the ventless fireplaces had an O2 sensor as a safety device. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah, with natural gas or propane burning appliances the really bad things with combustion happen when there is a depletion of oxygen. Rather than CO2 being produced, CO is produced which, of course is bad.
My main training and familiarity is with home appliances but what I do know is that everything gets greatly magnified with automobile combustion engines (like in the Honda 2000i). The propane conversion thing is another part I'm not super familiar with but the same basic principles apply.
My big beef with this discussion is the confined space a generator is running in and the lack of a barrier to living/sleeping areas. It's just the recipe for disaster.
I know in today's ultra-safe legalistic world we just get bombarded with warnings to point of just ignoring them all. This is one you really should not ignore.
