Same here...no detectors ever went off.I brew in my basement using 3 wok burners on the house gas. Hooded and vented.
Works great, gets a little warm and the humidity gets pretty high.
CO2 and smoke detector have never gone off. And the fire extinguisher is close at hand.
I'm also setup for all grain in my basement.
Propane burners with overhead vent + fan, 2 fans circulating air, all setup near the open door and a CO monitor next to the brew stand. Durring testing I never went above 23ppm CO even with the fans off. However, I'm constantly worried about it. I will probably switch to electric in the near future.
Also, you need to be concerned with is the fact that gaseous propane is much heavier than air or natural gas; if there is a leak in any part of your system it will pool in the low spots in your basement;
