Does the stove produce Carbon Monoxide?

Does the stove produce an open flame?

The WoodGas camping stove does produce an open flame and may start other fires. When starting, a small amount of flying ash may be produced. Always use the stove in manner approved for camp fires.

Does the stove produce hot ashes?

After burning for a period of time, charcoal will be produced as a byproduct. If the stove is switched off before all of the charcoal is consumed, the charcoal remains a fire hazard. Dispose of the charcoal in a safe place where it can't start a fire, or wait until it cools to a safe temperature.
