<DIV>I’ve gotten Kidde digital CO alarms recently from amazon.com for $22 though
they’re showing about $30 now. Either way, they’re affordable enough that
everyone should have multiples in their homes. These are the digital ones, that
read out numbers, so you can catch rising CO (if you check the display) long
before CO reaches the point of any alarms going off.</DIV>

the couple of gas stoves I've had (that I can recall) the control and adjustment

artifact of an old industrial guideline. Totally wrong for a

believe his work is still avialable on the web, if you search. A good CO
