Burn charcoal or use outdoor gas grills only outside your house. Do not use inside your house, or in your garage if it is attached to your house. Never leave your car motor, snowblower, or lawn mower running in an attached garage so that carbon monoxide does not leak into your house. Do not use a gas range or oven to heat your home. The oven burners will make too much carbon monoxide inside your house. |
