We proudly advertise that Flikrfire will product little to no carbon monoxide or put some soot into your home. While this is true we want to clarify a few things, some fuels produce carbon monoxide as a bi-product of burning, isopropyl alcohol does not. However in the absence of enough oxygen ANY fuel (even a cigarette lighter) can begin to produce carbon monoxide and soot. This can occur for various reasons but most often in a tightly sealed space (which often contain an air exchanger). Knowing this we have always said that the FLIKRFIRE Personal Fireplace must only be burned in a well-ventilated room; by, “well-ventilated” we mean the active exchange of air (thereby oxygen).
Unfortunately, given the possible variations in a home, there is no single standard or test by which we can guarantee plentiful oxygen. So as a refinement of our statement about being, “well- ventilated” we now say that a FLIKRFIRE Personal Fireplace should not be burned in a room smaller than 300 ft2. To especially ensure soot does not appear around your home no other flames should be lit and a window must be cracked in the room a FLIKRFIRE Personal Fireplace is burning.
Stop using FLIKRFIRE Personal Fireplace indoors as this can signal a lack of oxygen in your environment.
