Hello, I use methane gas for cooking and I have just learned that methane, if it burns incompletely, can be converted into carbon monoxide.

For it to burn incompletely, there needs to be insufficient oxygen in the room. So, if I burn methane for many hours in a completely sealed room, I would eventually produce carbon monoxide. Is this reasoning correct? Thank you in advance for your valuable opinions. I look forward to your replies.

Yes, it would be 2CH4+3O2→2CO+4H2O
It would take forever tho and typically homes are not sealed well enough for this to matter all that much.

Either way, where are you mentally?
