Propane emits carbon monoxide. It is odorless, however with propane an additive is put into the propane and has a smell close to natural gas. Before you smell it, it may be too late especially if you are asleep. The C.O. detectors are very sensitive and I'm delighted they are. Had I fallen asleep and not had the detectors, this outcome would have been very different.
