Having lost a close relative to carbon monoxide poisoning may i remind everyone that using camping stoves, or similar heating devices indoors in an emergency situation can be fatal.

Make sure you have adequate ventilation and get a carbon monoxide detector they’re very cheap.

You may have spent hundreds on preps, don’t risk everything for the sake of a few pounds.

I once read a news report of people dying in a big family tent because after they'd extinguished the barbecue they brought it just inside the tent under the awning overhang but unknown to them they give off carbon monoxide fumes for a while after they've been extinguished.

same with using a camp stove indoors.
ventilation, ventilation, ventilation.
