Gas Burner / Urn

[Zwickel]

Do you mean: "When not enough oxygen is present for complete combustion, incomplete combustion occurs when propane burns and forms water, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and carbon." ?

Thats valid for everything you can burn, means, it doesnt matter what material youre going to burn, an incomplete (lack of oxygen) combustion will certainly produce carbon monoxide.

Thats not what were talking about.

LPG doesnt produce any CO!

LPG burnes to CO2 and water only.

\mathrm{C_3H_8 + 5\ O_2 \longrightarrow 3\ CO_2 + 4\ H_2O}

So, no fear using LPG even inside the house!

At the end of the day you can choose to believe what you like, if someone tells you the sky is purple with pink spots and you believe it then that is your choice, if you think using a LPG ring burner to heat your water/wort doesnt produce carbon monoxide during the combustion process and is safe to use in an enclosed space like a shed, then that is your choice. My reason to continue to comment this post is that I work in the gas industry and love brewing at home and I would hate to see any fellow brewers end up on a notice like this one

Howdy Holla,

relax....see it from a physical view.

Your pdf-file tells about "DO NOT USE OUTDOOR GAS APPLIANCES INDOORS"

that means exactly what is written: "DO NOT USE OUTDOOR GAS APPLIANCES INDOORS"

means, appliances designed to be used outdoor, shouldnt be used indoor!

That has nothing to do with the gas itself.

Mate, dont take it personal.

Fact is, burning LPG gas requires also appropriate appliances, indoor or outdoor, both is possible.

Of course, any gas burning machinery holds many dangers, appropriate appliances are prerequisites.

But you cannot be condemning the use of LPG gas per se.
