Is it possible that the canning/boiling that the cooking (total amount of gas burned) is simply greater than for other stovetop cooking tasks?<br><br>When you say <i>the stove is </i><i>vented </i><i>properly </i>I assume you mean the oven? Sometimes ovens are connected through pipes to the exterior (and this can certainly be accomplished through an interior wall) but often they are not. That is what we are trying to ascertain here. <br>

<div>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? </div>

<div>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.</div>

your oven vent to the outside? <br>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.<br><br>
