On the couple of gas stoves I've had (that I can recall) the control
and adjustment seemed to vary a bit. None seemed to have been
designed with adjustment - or ease thereof - in mind. Good luck.<br>
<br>
I believe the 100 ppm is an artifact of an old industrial
guideline. Totally wrong for a residential exposure. The real
problem is, obviously, that g as ranges are not commonly vented.<br>
<br>
Rick Karg, in Maine, worked up more reasonable (testing) standards
for residential gas ranges, a couple of decades ago. I believe his
work is still avialable on the web, if you search. A good CO
detector/monitor would be a good thing to have on hand while you
experiment, imho. <font color="#000000"> T</font><font

Take care (in a general and literal sense, with this project).<br>

style="font-size: 12pt;">Is there any reason to be so
(comparatively) lax about ovens? I mean
isn't it a pretty simple matter to get the fuel air
mixture right, or is it
more complicated?<br>
<br>
It reminds me of the long standing rules that permit
side by side & bottom
freezer refrigerators to consume more electricity per
cubic foot... There's no
engineering reason to set this up that way, but there
may be plenty of other
reasons to :-)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

design from what I understand. Historically CO
testing
protocols have allowed 100ppm for stovetop
burners & 300ppm for ovens
before you are "required" to take corrective
action. Although lately
100ppm seems to be used for everything.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
