I seem to recall this topic has been discussed in the past. I remember some guys tested theirs by placing them quite close to a car exhaust pipe - and they didn't read anything. Anyway, I'd like to find some good ones. What is recommended?

Also a gas (heat) type stove in both the basement and on on the main floor. So when everything is running (and the stove flames are turned out to 25,000 BTU, I'm running about 170,000 BTU.
