Rather than waste your money on a bunch of CO detectors, couldn't you just leave the windows open?? Cross ventilation should remove the carbon monoxide

You'd think so, but unfortunately it doesn't. CO concentrations can (i.e. have been shown to) rise to lethal levels in spite of major passive and/or cross-ventilation... much better to use a CO detector and be sure.
