Propane fireplaces

[suncon97]

I have two propane fireplaces in my home.Neither has been used in about 3 years due to the warmer weather.I can still use them if the electric goes out and want to have them ready this year just in case.My concern is, will there be any propane fumes from starting it up.I might get a generator by so Idk if I'll need this but I don't want to harm Pearl.

Any help?

it seems risky. if you have to use it, i would put pearl in another room, and turn floor fan facing out a window or into another room to blow the fumes out. just keep it ventilated and make sure pearl isn't exposed to fire or fumes. good luck and stay warm !

Okay I have three living or family family rooms.Two have the fireplaces.One of then us in the while other end of the house in the guest part and has a door separating it from the other parts would it be fine to use that one?

Are these vented to the outside, a chimney or other venting?
