serious stuff

A friend of mine in a new factory made<BR>permanent fish house just about got himself<BR>and 4 others gassed by Carbon Monoxide last<BR>weekend. (including a couple of kids)<P>He had a detector but it was weak from comming on every time he opened the holes<BR>with his auger.<P>At this point in the season how is your<BR>detector? Do you have one?<P>How this happened it still being looked at.<BR>The heater is back at the factory for inspection. Again it is all new stuff and<BR>the burner evidently sits outside of the <BR>house. Should have never happened but it<BR>did.<P>Something else to think about...be careful.<P><P>------------------<BR>Curt Quesnell<BR>NorthCountry Outdoors Radio

Something I have noticed is with this cold weather every time I leave my house with the heat off for a couple days and come back the co detector is beeping.I install new batteries and it is fine.Has this been happening to anyone else?Are the batteries getting to cold?

I think the hole unit is to cold mine will act this way until it gets warmed up. A Good idea might be to get a new unit and take it out of the house when you go home. then hang it up after the air has cleared from drilling. what brand of heater was this???<P>------------------<BR>River man

Thanks for the heads up Curt! It's something that needs routine attention. I bring a digital unit with about where-ever I go and take out the batterys when I'm done with it. <P>I keep it in the cooler so if I forget the beer then I won't have it with, that never happens (; I have saddle bags on it too

I dont know what brand it was but I will<BR>try to find out.<P>More important is that it is pretty new and<BR>of modern design, all flames are outside<BR>of the fishhouse and while it should have<BR>been fine it was not!<P>It seems like a good idea to take the <BR>detectors out of the house when you are not<BR>there and re-install them each trip.
