(11,065 posts)on the stove for an hour or use two burners at once than I should about using one burner for a half an hour to get some heat in the area. Good. That's my point.
There's no bloody difference in using a stove burner to cook than it is to generate some heat for a short time, and in my small house using one burner for a half an hour or so will lift the temperature a few degrees in that part of the downstairs. It makes NO difference whether I turn it on to cook something or turn it on for a short time to heat up the downstairs a little.
Why aren't you giving people dire warnings about using their gas oven for HOURS to cook a turkey?
When I die from CO poisoning I won't be getting and you never have had any concern over if I use the stove to COOK than you can say "na na I told you so". I've had my CO detector for years and unlike some people know where to put it, and after having a gas stove since I was a kid I don't need to be ultra paranoid about using a stove burner whether it's being turned on to cook or turned on for a short time for heat.
Lucky you that you have the money to go buy all kinds of gizmos to make sure you're ultra safe from the scary gas stove. I have to pay the rent in two days and don't have a dime of it - you chipping in?
