Propane burner indoors?
WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE? Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and toxic gas. Smoking a cigarette; idling a gasoline engine; and burning fuel oil, wood, kerosene, natural gas,and propane all produce CO. High levels of CO can be produced when fuels are burned incompletely.

burning propane doesn't produce carbon monoxide; that's a common misconception...(the only byproducts are water and CO2) Besides the fact that burning propane consumes oxygen as previously noted, it is the safest burnable to have around. what you need to be concerned with is the fact that gaseous propane is much heavier than air and if there is a leak in any part of you assembly it will pool in the low spots of there you're brewing. this is obviously bad because because any small spark can evaporate your garage or house (whatever you're brewing in). As long as you have a good amount of ventilation you can prevent pooling. I would tend to store the tank and burner somewhere other than my house, though.
Blue flame = complete combustion = Carbon Dioxide
Red Flame= Incomplete combustion = Carbon Monoxide
I only know this because i use a co2 generator(propane) to grow hops little sister MJ.
Says it in the manual.
Propane revisited...
I've heard ideas of keeping the propane tanks outside and connecting them to burners inside. I have an idea to do something like this and then get a portable ventilation system that will pump the indoor air back outside. Do you think if I do this along with having a carbon monoxide detector that I might be in the clear?
