Answer
as in natural gas? no, it's intended to detect carbon monoxide from a poorly vented gas burning appliance.

call the gas co if you think you have a leak, they'll come out and test.

Carbon Monoxide Leak?

Laugh

My dad baked a pizza and then probably about 20 minutes after taking the pizza out, to heat up the house, he opened the oven for like 15 minutes with all widows and door closed. now, it kinda smells in the kitchen (not from pizza. it's a weird smell). So I opened a window or two, and a door, but I still kinda smell it and I feel kinda weird. I don't know if I just psyched myself or if my headache and body-aches are actually a side effect. Do you think my house has a really bad carbon monoxide leak? If so, what should I do? Please help I don't want to die lol.
No cause we use a gas stove and my mom says that im not supposed to heat the house with the oven so yeah idk and i meant *45 minutes not 15 lol oops mistake.

Answer
You can't smell carbon monoxide. You can, however, smell natural gas - they add a sulphur smell to it. Does it smell like rotten eggs?

EDIT: For the people going on and on about carbon monoxide - you are missing the point! If they can smell it, then it's not CO. And if you get a CO detector, it does not go on your ceiling, because CO drops, it doesn't rise like hot air/smoke. And someone (Ray) doesn't know what he's talking about.
