Another tradegy from instant BBQ. Please be aware

Just heard on the news of another death on a campsite due to carbon monoxide. When camping please make sure you NEVER take an instant barbecue into your tent, or even next to the entrance. As the charcoal cools the Carbon Monoxide levels increase rapidly. This is due to the oxygen levels being depleted by the combustion. There become insufficient oxygen for Carbon Dioxide to be produced, therefore Carbon Monoxide is produced instead! They may appear harmless and a good way to keep warm, but this is the second death in only a few weeks this season.
