I'm with lars RE: CO safety issues.
Back during 07 winter storm, WA had numerous incidents (and deaths) RE: CO poisoning due to people down electricity--they hauled charcoal/profane BBQ stove into the house to stay warm...but w/o sufficient ventilation.
Also: during this year's Toronto area's power outage (due to ice storm), there has also been several similar incidents as well.
Stay safe. I have 3 CO detectors throughout the house: 2 AC based (with battery backup, one has digital readings) and one battery type (4 AA cells, no reading). This combination has saved me and ma family at least 2 times during the fall due to sudden backdrafting from the natural gas boiler when temperature suddenly dropped.... Well, problem resolved now so hopefully, no more triggering of CO alarms.
