If you have food, grease left in the stove or on the stove top it can catch on fire.
Bad wiring can also catch on fire.
The commonest cause of fire in the kitchen is the stove or stove top. The main thing is to be careful while cooking, but installing a fire extinguisher near the stove would be a good idea.
No, it cannot.
Because you can forget about it and it can cause a fire. -K
Depending on the condition of the stove, rust, broken fire brick, etc... as long as the stove is structurally intact and nothing is broken, the stove will range from $100 to $350.
Ramon Agpoon is the inventor of "Dragon Fire Stove"
Fire + Stone + Coal = Stove
If the stove was designed with legs (most are) then you should have legs on the stove. This is to keep the very hot parts of the stove away from things that can burn. Some masonry stoves do not have legs- but weigh several tons, and will never get hot enough to cause a fire.
They do provide safety benefits. The lids keeps unwanted debris from settling in the burners. This can cause a fire if someone does not know it is there when the stove is being lit.
If you put your face on a hot stove, it WILL burn. It will also burn if you keep it over hot steam/smoke or a fire for a few minutes. Moral of the story question: Don't try to put your face on or directly above a stove.
