Very true. And the water vapor would actually be beneficial here in dry Colorado. Install a CO (carbon monoxide, not Colorado) detector and there I'd have it!

A crazy idea I've had is to run a natural gas engine (perhaps a steam powered engine) and use the heat off the exhaust to warm the house and use the engine to either supply electricity or to turn a heat pump and heat the house even more.
