We've bought our house for more than 6 years and have only
turned on the fireplace once. My dad decided to turn it on
tonight, he turned it off a few hours ago but there's still a
small blue flame going. Should I be worried about carbon
monoxide poisoning?



Answer
No, this is the pilot light. It stays on. the exhaust gas is going up the chimney, so you are safe.

carbon monoxide occurs when the gas burns with too little oxygen. You will see a yellow flame and an accumulation of black soot. blue is good, gold is not good.

Suggest to your father that he invest in a carbon monoxide detector. They are on sale at Costco for under $30.
