Shootie, I'm very sorry to hear about this. I only have propane and it's my stove and one hotwater heater in the garage, but I had an incident where the kids started up the fireplace with the vent closed..it didn't take long for the entire house to fill with smoke. Scared the hell out of me thanks for the post. Perhaps someone can be saved by your story my sh*t is lennox too. I hate the crap. Some sort of bizarre wiring keeps the non-lennox guys from working on them due to confusion and non-standard aspects

Shootie, Any advice on the detectors themselves. I see them from $24-$60, some combined with smoke etc.. Thanks for any advice.

Shootie, Thanks for the warning and update..... A couple of observations: 1. Have your furnace checked out, every year, by a professional who knows what they are doing. This will not avoid all problems, for the furnaces can be defective or the ventilation improper. But it should help prevent problems which arise from lack of maintenance. The service people can perform a CO test to see if there is a problem at the time of the service call. 2. Don't just depend on the service person. Take Shootie's advice and wallpaper your house with CO detectors. CO is not like natural gas .... it is odorless. Gas that is piped to your house does have a smell added to it so you'll notice a leak before your family gets toasted, but with CO leaks you can't see 'em or smell 'em. 3. Shootie, I would be interested in your recommendation for CO detectors, and maybe a Web link if you have one to where they can be bought online. Thanks .... OMD
