Question:

Does anyone know anything about the new RCS system??? With the A B C D grades???

With mobility, meals, etc???

Answer:

A blanket or large bath towel: don't wait to soak it in water: immediately throw it over the fire and deprive it of oxygen.
This is a VERY common concern as it is a VERY common thing. Most gas furnaces and many forms of electric heating sources have components that get hot enough to ignite dust particles that have settled on them while not in use. During the colder months, these surfaces heat up frequently enough that appreciable amounts of dust can't build up enough to be noticeable. However, when you are heating for the first time since last spring, there is a large buildup to burn off. In almost no circumstance is there enough combustible material enough to be of any concern beyond that it is stinky and annoying. Carbon monoxide should not be any concern. If it makes you feel more comfortable, open a few windows for a short time to help reduce the smell. Once your heating system has some hours on it the smell will disappear. Until next fall that is
