Yes and no. When wood burns, the first thing that happens is destructive distillation, and one of the products is carbon monoxide. The carbon monoxide is normally burned into carbon dioxide, producing a flame, along with other products of destructive distillation. Then the products of combustion go up the chimney.
An airtight stove can produce carbon monoxide as a combustion product if it is not allowed to get enough air to burn properly. Older airtight stoves were more prone to this than newer. The carbon monoxide went up the chimney, and not into the house, but it was an atmospheric pollutant.
In a case where the carbon monoxide fails to go up the chimney, a stove will normally just go out. There are exceptional cases where this would not happen, but proper operation of a stove would prevent it.
