So during my build I was asked about ventilation vents in my stone etc.  I appreciated all the tips.  But also made me nervous as hail.  Natural gas rises.  

So.  Slightly modified aquatic rail fans to be mounted under grill as exhaust fans. 

Wired to automatically come on if temp reaches above 95 degrees to blow air. 

Installed 3 level gas detector and carbon monoxide sniffer with voice yelling,

modified so siren output triggers a relay to fire the fans as suckers in exhaust mode to purge the cabinet..  so far test prove ok.

Even got a sniffer to check all my connectors.  So thanks everyone for the pucker factor 12 and I actually feel safer. 

Grill leds lights on knobs come  on when gas is turned on.  Visual reminder gas shut offs are on.  I was told to just turn on gas flow and leave it on just like your stove in the kitchen.  You dont run down stairs to kill the gas each time.  I just cant allow myself to relax.  

I cant help it.  Im a gadget man.
