An unfortunate, but unsurprising discovery last night - turning on the fireplace brings the indoor co2 level (iirc quite a bit) higher than 2000 ppm in my living room (co2 meter was placed on the other side of the room from the fireplace).

That might explain why I've been having a harder time working on Tangerine in the evenings since we hit the cold half of the year. I've had a few evenings and weekend days where I got some good work done, and I wonder if those were just really warm days 🤔.

I love the fireplace but I wonder if maybe we should switch to using an electric space heater instead :/

@aeva Is it an open fireplace? As those are generally not just very (indoors-)air-polluting but also not very efficient heat-wise, compared to closed wood burning thingems

@joepie91 it was converted to a gas fireplace at some point with no outside vent.

@aeva Ohhh, I thought you meant a wood fireplace! I have no idea about the gas ones.
