Oh dear...im tempted to ignore this as you've clearly not read or understood my comments. But in the spirit of learning i'll say.Go back and read my earlier comments on the matter it'll help you grasp "a bit" of the matter.
Complete combustion has NOTHING to do with the type of gas but HOW the gas is burnt.
Before you go I have a small home work assignment for you. Go and read up on the meaning of the following (A) Complete combustion (B) Incomplete combustion. Also read up on their causes in the context of natural gas CH4 and LPG to help focus your enquiry. Try not to comment for the sake of commenting my dear.

Do you use a gas cooker or keep a gas cylinder at home? No doubt, you are one of those who have found great benefit in using gas cookers and have experienced how efficient and convenient it is to use. This is most especially true after graduating from the usage of kerosene stoves and fire woods. However, one of the biggest problems associated with using a gas cooker which is now affordable is the issue of safety. If you are careless about using it, it can lead to a catastrophe. As such, Jumia Nigeria the online shop you can trust shares gas safety hacks you must know.

Keep your appliances well maintained

Gas appliances should be safety checked and serviced at least once every year, unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer. A thorough service on your boiler and gas supply will include a range of tests and checks to ensure that the appliance is operating safely.

Have a carbon monoxide (CO2) alarm installed

Carbon monoxide is not only a potentially dangerous gas. It’s also incredibly hard to detect as it is both odourless and colourless. Carbon monoxide alarms detect and alert you to the presence of the poisonous gas, and should be fitted in your home.

Ventilation

Store gas cylinders upright in a well-ventilated area that is situated away from open flames, power outlets and electrical appliances. Also, if the ventilation of your room is hot, endeavour to open your windows.

Be careful when cooking

Today, gas cookers and cookers are found in almost every home because it is now inexpensive. So, when cooking with it, don’t sit or stand too close to the gas heater or cooker when it is in use, as this can be hazardous or result in gas burns.

Never light a naked flame if you smell CO2

Ensure you refrain from lighting a match, cigarette lighter, or any other source of flame or spark whenever you smell or perceive carbon monoxide. If you do, you are at risk of burning down your home as a result of an explosion.

Gas is odourless but a chemical agent is added that gives of the familiar smell of gas we all know. It is a safety feature to warn people of a leak and avoid a potential build up of explosive gas.
CO2 is is carbon dioxide. CO is carbon monoxide.
While they are both technically gases when people say gas they normally refer to Methane or LPG.
CO is also odourless but can kill in high concentration or make you very sick.
CO2 is not poisonous like CO but in extremely high quantities especially in confined spaces it will displace oxygen. Thereby reducing air quality.

TLisieux:
Good info.
Carbon monoxide is CO. CO2 is carbon dioxide.

Good info.
Carbon monoxide is CO. CO2 is carbon dioxide.

vikkimimi:


we know say you know but CO2 is now carbon monoxide, while CO4 is carbon dioxide
According to the new law of IUPAC nomenclature

Great Topic!


But, Carbonmonoxide is not CO₂


Meanwhile, cooking Gas is Propane or Butane.

sane93:

The reason why using cooking gas is preferable to other sources of heat is because it undergoes complete combustion thus no carbon monoxide issues which causes soot and blackening of cooking utensils. Should carbon monoxide be present when using gas, then it's in minute quantity and negligible. The post is out of place and scientifically faulty in details please.

SnowJay92:


Good post OP, but you don't smell carbon monoxide, a little concentration of it in air would have killed the person, however our gas cookers does not produce carbon monoxide except in very extremely poor ventilation, which will also have a fatal result. Good post all the same.

xreal:
How can we smell something that is odourless?

It is stated that CO2 is colourless and odourless, so how do we smell it?


I don't think the cooking gas is CO2 as you stated.
