Cartridge gas and vents

[bezzabsa]

Hoping to build a small sink/cooker unit into the van - the cooker being a small aerosol powered one, It's going to be used when stationary, but would a vent be necessary?
Rather err on the side of caution, but as its going to be positioned by the back doors i'm getting differing opinions!!!
HELP!!

Not really needed, but I wouldn't be cooking in an inclosed van for any period of time.

Boiling a kettle will be ok, but much longer and you could run the risk of leaving our world. Vents are normally needed for when an appliance is on for a long long time, such as a gas fridge or heating etc

Don't worry about it. Even when I have used our cooker etc. the gas will be disconnected.

Some form of ventilation would be a good idea, even if you just open the door a crack. Any thing is better than carbon monoxide poisoning.

Cheers guys...forgot to add there is a ceiling fan fitted (was ex plod van with cell at back) but not sure if its working at the moment, so I presume I could use that , has 2 settings Blow out, suck in...so if I set it on blow (calm down BJT) It should be ok????? or am I totally ass backwards?

As long as you're shifting air out of the van from high up you'll be fine, carbon monoxide is lighter than air when warm. Don't forget a CO alarm, cost feck all, save many lives..

You still need a vent at low level to let the air in, so the fan can suck it out.
