Using Propane Camp Stoves And Camp Ovens Indoors???

It could but only when leaking, not from burning

I have a non-electric propane range in my house, just so I would be able to cook when the power is out. There is still several companies making ranges that don't require electricity to operate. They have mercury thermostats and mechanical gas valves.

I knew a young couple living on a shoestring who used an old Coleman stove inside. It did not affect him at all but she got symptoms they put down to CO poisoning. Her symptoms stopped when they set up an outdoor kitchen.

CO is a concern beleive it or not.

But camp stoves do get used inside alot for obvious reasons. The biggest issue is its more of a fire hazzard. Emergencies are more of a fire hazzard as people use unfamiliar candles and oil lamps, and try to stay warm with rarely used wood stoves etc. Thing is if you start a fire with an oil lamp that's bad, but if there's a propane cylinder in the house at the time, that's worse.

A person would have to be nuts to start a fire with an oil lamp

I have to open my front door and a few windows and least three times through out the winter just to clean and make fresh the air. Just the build up of my own exhalations is enough to make me light headed . It takes about a month for the air to go stale in my place during winter.

It seems like most of the warnings I have seen, is for propane heaters, not propane cook stoves.

Heaters run much longer and will put out more CO, than a stove.

We use a propane gas range.

To be clear I meant by accident, like, dropping it while lit or knocking it off a table, putting something too close to the chimney that's flamable or refilling a hot lamp.

I use the "Big Buddy" propane heater in my hunting camp cabin. The hose goes outside to a portable propane tank. Electric start, thermostat, very sensitive to tipping or jarring, and 18 thousand btu. I keep a window cracked at the top 1/4 inch just for the sake of letting in some fresh air. Don't use it at night, shut it off by turning the knob on the tank and letting the heater burn out. The hose has a filter to keep the impurities in the propane from ruining the heater. Works great. Not that expensive.

Carbon monoxide, CO, is a real deadly poison. You do need good ventilation, not just a a window cracked open 2" but windows on opposite sides of the house for full air flow.

When using our gas range or when using a gas camp stove?

The nice thing about stoves (all types) is they have a fairly low output compared to construction heaters and ventless heaters, and limited use that is almost always well attended. I always advocate care with fuel burning appliances and CO. People get sick and people die, but really the concern with portable stoves is the fire hazard. Regular gas stoves here require a vent hood and a combustion air inlet to prevent house depressurization. The code will be different in some parts for sure.
