[Stoves] Improved Stoves without chimneys being used indoors ornot?

[Kate Tirion]

Hi Crispin,

here, in SE Arizona, kissing bugs abound. I have been initiated:  
whilst sleeping (obviously with moth open!) one snuck in and bit the  
inside of my cheek - metallic odd taste and numbness for a few days.  
Woke me up out of a deep sleep. Next morning, took the house apart!
They love crevices of any kind and can be found hidden in bedding,  
under mattresses, floor/ base boards etc. In our neck of the woods,  
pack rats provide the perfect kissing bug primary residence.  
Cumulative bites appear to cause the recipient to have an ever  
increasing reaction, to the point that medical attention/  
hospitalization is required.
