I have actually done a little experiment of my own on CO. I have a quick fish 6 and brought an expensive co detector from work with me. I believe the OSHA 8 hr average for parts per million of co is 20. I have hit 20 with my buddy heater fairly easily, it is the big ice shack so a small one would be higher. Usually they will shut off with lack of oxygen. If you run your ice auger for just one hole inside your shack it hits over 200 off the charts! 50 will kill you if your in it for any amount of time. Most of the co detectors that you buy for your home don't even go off until close to 50.
CO cannot be smelled, tasted in the air, or nothing of that nature. The first signs of it are a head ache. They say that you actually die of a painless death. It is so and happens every year to people, not just in ice huts.
