CO poisoning for campers

A lesson to be learned here that a barbecue can still give off carbon monoxide even after it is apparently out. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-32222965

I think there was a story a couple of years back where someone died from doing a similar thing..very sad and it is sometimes hard to imagine we do not all share the same common sense.

Yes there was, up the road from me. We used to have to warn people about using them on narrowboats on each showround.

It's not just BBQs that pose a risk, but also people using gas stoves and lamps in an enclosed tent for warmth.

Yep absolutely we have a carbon monoxide detector in the house and a portable one for travelling
