  • Page 14 SAFETY 8.7 SAFETY Whenever a loading door is opened, it should always be cracked slightly to allow oxygen to enter and burn any combustion gases that are present before fully opening. Failure to do this could result in sudden ignition of the unburned gases when the door is opened. A stove should never be filled with excess coal so that the flue gas exit is blocked or impeded in any way. Burning coal generates carbon monoxide. If the flue gas exit is blocked, the carbon monoxide can be forced out of the stove into the room, with possibly fatal consequences.
