carbon monoxide detector does detect natural gas image

Can a NON vented heater be converted into a vented heater? By making a duct to feed the fire. With air from the out side, to the bottom of the heater. I was told the ONLY DIFRANCE between vented or (non) vented was having out side air to feed the fire.
Answer
No. A non-vented heater cannot be converted into a vented heater.
Gas heaters all work by burning gas (propane or natural) to produce heat. All of them produce some amount of Carbon Monoxide.
Vented heaters produce the heat in a sealed box with a vent or flue attached that sends the combustion gases to the outside world.
Non-vented do not. What you were told was close, but it's the exhaust, not the intake.
Non-vented, or "blue-flame" heaters produce very little carbon monoxide when working correctly. They also have sensors that turn the heater off if Co is detected.
But, when (not if) the heater malfunctions, dangerous levels of Co can build up in the living space, which can result in sickness and death.
If it isn't UL approved as a vented heater, it isn't one.

If you have a non-vented heater, get a Co detector, or two. Test them regularly.

Does a carbon monoxide detector detect gas leaks from a stove?

Answer
No it doesn't. Two different gases. The gas leak you're talking about is of natural gas (methane) and CO detector detects carbon monoxide produced by incomplete burning of the natural gas.
