What are the dangers of cooking tea indoors with the windows closed in winter?

Cooking tea indoors with windows closed in winter may be a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

"Cooking tea around the stove" actually originated from "burning tea in Tang Dynasty" in Yunnan, also called "burning tea with rice paste". In Tang Huo, Yunnan, it is actually a fire pit for boiling water or cooking. Now put the clay pot in the fireplace to bake, and then bake rice and tea.

At present, the popular "cooking tea around the stove" is mainly based on baking tea in the fireplace. Replaced the "fire pond" with a charcoal stove. Tea is also more "younger", including black tea, fruit tea and milk tea. At the same time, in addition to baking tea, you can also bake some snacks such as chestnut, persimmon and sweet potato.

Although the form has changed, the activity of "cooking tea around the stove" is always inseparable from the charcoal stove. Closing doors and windows to keep the room warm in winter can also cause poor ventilation. No matter what kind of coal is used, colorless and odorless carbon monoxide will be released during combustion.

Measures to prevent charcoal fire;

1. Never use barrels, pots or coal stoves without chimneys for direct indoor heating. Don't put the coal stove directly in the bedroom. Indoor fire heating should be ventilated regularly to prevent incomplete coal burning and flue gas reflux.

2. The gas water heater should be installed in a well-ventilated place, not in the bathroom or bedroom. Before each use, check whether the window or exhaust fan of the room where the water heater is installed is open and the ventilation is good. Always check whether the hose connected to the gas water heater is loose, aging, broken and bitten by insects to prevent air leakage.

3. Check whether the gas stove leaks before ignition. When the furnace is continuously ignited, the window should be opened for ventilation and then ignited later. When in use, people should not be far away, so as not to overflow the pot to put out the kitchen fire. Check whether the stove switch and pipeline valve are closed after use, before going to bed and when going out.

4. Others: Don't sleep in the car after starting the car in the garage or starting the air conditioner in the car in winter; Attention should be paid to indoor ventilation in plastic greenhouses using coal stoves for heating, hot pot restaurants using charcoal, and places using diesel generators.
