Yes gas and electic stoves do emit carbon monoxide, a stove left on to much and to often may cause light sickness.
Yes, you can get carbon monoxide poisoning from using a gas stove if it is not properly ventilated. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be produced when gas burns incompletely. It is important to ensure proper ventilation when using a gas stove to prevent the buildup of carbon monoxide in your home.
It is your choice but of caution it is recommended.
The pilot light on the stove may keep going out due to a dirty or clogged pilot light assembly, a faulty thermocouple, or a lack of gas flow. It is important to clean the pilot light assembly and ensure proper gas flow to prevent the pilot light from going out.
Carbon monoxide is produced when things are on fire.
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.
The pilot light on a gas stove may not stay lit due to a dirty or damaged pilot light assembly, a faulty thermocouple, or a problem with the gas supply. It is important to have a professional inspect and repair the stove to ensure safe operation.
To light a pilot light on a gas stove, locate the pilot light assembly near the burner. Turn the gas knob to the "pilot" position and press it down. While holding the knob down, use a long lighter to ignite the pilot light. Keep the knob pressed for about 30 seconds to allow the pilot light to stay lit. Release the knob and adjust the flame as needed.

To light the pilot on a gas stove, locate the pilot light button or knob near the burner. Turn the knob to the pilot position and press it down while using a long lighter or match to ignite the pilot flame. Hold the knob down for a few seconds to allow the pilot to stay lit, then release it.
Yes, gas stoves can produce carbon monoxide if not properly ventilated. Breathing in carbon monoxide can lead to poisoning, causing symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, and even death in severe cases. It is crucial to ensure good ventilation and have carbon monoxide detectors in your home to prevent this.
A gas stove can be dangerous without a pilot light as it can allow gas to build up in the kitchen, which can lead to a potential explosion if ignited. It is important to exercise caution and immediately contact a professional to relight the pilot light.
