Yes.
And a fire extinguisher. And a carbon monoxide detector. And a SWMBO/friend to check on you occasionally to make sure you are not dead.

I also have a CO2 monitor that has not shown any signs of excess CO2.
Make sure you calculate the volume of your room correctly and check the codes for venting rate. I vented twice what I needed to by code.
i have a friend who does this with very little ventilation. I preach to him every time he does it. I've told him I would help him build electric. He says it's fine, but I think he loses iq points every year.
or go electric.. if that's not possible move the brewing outside..you only have one life.. why risk it with burners inside
have you asked him what beer he wants served at his funeral?
what a CO monitor? CO2 and CO are different animals..

Don't you still need exhaust for an electric setup?
I would think you would need to vent the humidity to avoid destroying any paper or other moisture-sensitive materials you may be storing in the basement.
Everybody tells me the opposite. Even these links from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission and OSHABurning propane does not produce CO (carbon monoxide) it does however consume oxygen.

Well for f*cksakes. All I wanted was a simple answer to a simple question. Thank you to those who answered civily, the hell with the rest of you. Apparently this site is for insulting fellow homebrewers who ask questions about situations they are not familiar with. Looks like I'll find another site to discuss brewing techniques.
they're just trying to save your life, buddy, calm down. ur on a forum, u should expect a reasonable amount of smarta$$ remarks
People burn propane indoors all the time. Look at RV's, trailers, and mobile homes, even some houses. I've seen it all over the south.
Do I need to install some sort of exhaust fan because of the burners?
