OK Guys let me tell my story...
A number of years back our LPG Radiant Heater Failed. The fire box burned out and the cabin filled with CO. I didn't wake up but Patti did and after she got me awake I was able to ventilate the cabin. She stayed up all night keeping the wood burner going (yes it was in the 20's) so that I could get some sleep and make it to work in the morning.
In the morning we all packed up (Patti, myself and the dogs) and headed out to the beach so that I could complete the scheduled assignments. While gone that day we got a couple of feet of snow so we headed out to buy the Newell. While we were buying the Newell there were 3 more storms that put 4-5 foot of snow on the ground. Needless to say we spent the balance of that winter in our '82.
Moral of the Story;Do not take a CO Alarm lightly... I am here today because of one!
