The propane gas stove is quite cheap and easy to move around unlike the other alternatives. As the propane gas is burned, it releases the heat that cooks your food, but also deadly carbon monoxide.

  1. There are many reasons why propane stoves are unsafe for indoor use, but this does not mean that you may not use your stove indoors. It is possible to use a propane stove safely. Unlike methane, which has fewer carbon atoms in its structure compared to propane, the latter is much more prone to incomplete combustion, which may cause the release of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is one of the most toxic substances on the planet. It interferes with the transport of oxygen in the body, and even in small concentrations, affected people start to experience dizziness, headache, nausea, and vomiting. Continued exposure to the harmful gas will eventually cause unconsciousness and death. The most hazardous aspect of carbon monoxide is that it is odorless and colorless, which makes it virtually impossible to trace until it is too late.

  2. Yes, it is safe to use a propane stove indoors… if the proper steps and safety precautions are taken. However, it can prove to be hazardous if you don’t stick to the correct methods of doing so. In fact, propane is deemed to be amongst the most inexpensive as well as safest sources of fuel that will surely fit one’s budget.
