do flames produce enough CO2?

As far as I know and my understanding any thing that contains carbon will produce carbon monoxide when burned, which is what you do not want. Even though you may go this route it probably would be still be within acceptable limits, I cant justify intentionally creating a poisonous gas in my living area when there are other options. My furnace and hot water heater are already two sources for CO in my house.
:spew:
Most of the Natural gas piped to the homes of the US is Methane (suspect this is the case around the Globe.). Occasionally the delivering Gas companies use a mixture of air and Butane to supplement their contracted quota from the Pipeline Companies.

When Hydrocarbons are burnt each Hydrogen atom is released from the Carbon and attaches themselves to another Hydrogen atom and an Oxygen atom. When there is enough free O2 in the surrounding area NO Carbon monoxide is produced. Thus the main reason for "Adequate" ventilation is to provide enough free O2. Only when a shortage of O2 is occurring is CO produced.

Also if you look at this chart you will see that Butane has the highest Carbon count, thus will produce the highest amount of CO2, but also has the highest potential for creating CO.

First of all, this guy is obviously either nuts or stupid! I'm sorry but this has to be one of the most dangerous things I have ever seen recommended in my life. I could see a real fucked up ending here...

I don't think most people understand how expensive CO2 is. In order for it to be effective you need to have a whole lot more than just CO2.
It should be the last thing you worry about when growing. If you don't have all the kinks worked out of your style, CO2 is nothing but a waste of money.

yes flame makes c02
you can get a generator that burns propane but the side effect is moisture the air will get humid and hotter
yeast and sugar water do the same thing with all of the humidity.
the best way is just a c02 tank but it can get expensive.

the op was referring to a butane torch.
this unit is not an open flame unit the flame is protected by a steel cabinet

the negative side effect of this type of unit is heat and moisture. burning that much gas will cause a humidity spike
