what should i do about the carbon monoxide smell from my gas stove?

carbon monoxide detectors gas leaks image

Bird N

it's pretty slight and i only smell it when i'm standing in front of the stove. the gas company came out and they guy had his detector or whatever. He said that it might be carbon monoxide and it might be incomplete combustion from one of the pilot lights and that they may need adjustment and that it wasn't a natural gas leak. I only smell it when I stand in front of the gas stove. He also recommended I open a door or window when I have the stove or oven on. He also pointed out the debris flakes under the stove cover as fuel debris or whatever. I put a carbon monoxide detector in the kitchen for about an hour and it didn't go off. What should I do? Call an appliance repair company? will it be expensive? Thanks!

Answer
you can,t smell carbon monoxide,
check the pilot lights, a slight smell of gas is normal on a gas stove

does anyone know of any gas leak detectors available from shops in England?

after having our boiler serviced we were told of a gas escape which has now been sorted with new pipes but does anyone know if there is detector for us to test this in the future like there is a carbon monoxide detector?

Answer
In the US the gas company provides this service absoutely free at any time of the day or night on any day.
If you call them for an inspection they will give you an appointment. But if you call because you smell gas they will be there pronto.
I would assume they are the same over there??
