[Greenbuilding] Question on tight house, carbon monoxide

[KTOT (g)]

As I said, I can cook anything else for a long time and no CO shows on the alarm units, so I question your statement about the propane under the pots—why would it be the propane just when liquids are evaporating off the top, not other cooking? 

The stove is properly vented but it’s not on an exterior wall. I’m not sure exactly what my plumber did, but he definitely installed everything to code.

Does your oven vent to the outside? 
It is the propane burning under your pots that is no doubt contributing the CO to the ambient air. You should figure out a way to vent your gas-burning appliances to the outside (and if things are as tight as they seem) find a way to source makeup air to boot.
