Steve,
     I use mine just so I can tell the insurance company I used it in 
case of a fire. It probably has no safety value at all but insurance 
companies are used to blowers on gas units so I would rather run it than 
explain why I didn't.  This is a lousy reason but this is the world we 
live in. Joe
