Carbon monoxide is not created by incomplete combustion. Almost all fuel burning appliances and fires do not burn at 100% efficiency. So some carbon monoxide gas is created. The amount produced is usually not a problem if the appliances are working as designed and venting properly. However, there are many circumstances that can cause carbon monoxide levels to rise. http://www.carbon-monoxide-Survivor.com/carbon-monoxide-sources-where-it-comes-from.html
