WARNING! Carbon monoxide fumes from a barbecue.

I like the way Barry Templeton, the general manager at the camping park, said it was the first incident of its kind on the site
As if he wants to convince people Please come to our site, don't let this put you off, not all our campers are retards!. ;D

i have always been more worried about it being a fire hazard than the carbon monoxide

 

I have a Co detector in the van at the front vents because I dont trust the heat exchangers.. Funnily enought one of mine has just started to go and without the tester I dont think I wouldve known. At the moment i can get upto about 45 ppm Thats not enough to worry about but happy to know the leak is there and I can get on sorting it.

When camping the tester then sits on the fridge just incase I get build up of Co around that.. Peace of mind for less than tenner!!

I heard some people mentioning that they put their cobb cookers in their awnings at night to keep warm. I tried to tell them but they said they had done it for years and no problems Wouldve been nice to put the tester in with them to show how it builds up. I hope they arnt the next news flash!!!

Odourless killer and you can get things to warn you about it!!!


ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!!!! ;D ;D

 

its crazy that people do this in tents and enclosed spaces. disposal bbq's are the new way to commit suicide in vehicles as the hose in exhaust method is crap now. basically any thing that takes away your oxygen isnt going to be good for you. make sure if you are burning anything in your tent, camper or any other enclosed space you have plenty of ventilation and it is on a fire proof surface!
