If you can get carbon monoxide poisoning from a furnace or gas dryer, can you also get it from a gas stove? Because the burners on a gas stove aren't vented, so what's the difference? Just curious about this. Shouldn;t it be just as dangerous?

The gas stove generates carbon monoxide. However the rate of burning is much much less than that from a furnace or gas dryer.
This gives the carbon monoxide a chance to be diluted below harmful concentrations.
an over burns gas at a pretty high rate, but does not burn continuously. The average amount during oven on-oven off is considered to be safe.

You can. Anything that burns - anything - gives off carbon monoxide. Even a cigarrette. Your car.,motorbike,lawnmower all burn gas or diesel which is the same ( a carbon product) or paper which comes from trees(another carbon based source)
Probably not in the same category because there isn't anybody I know that turns on the gas stove to cook and goes to bed with the stove on. A furnace can run while you are sleeping and so too the dryer. THIS IS JUST A GUESS WHY IT IS IN A DIFFERENT category. So if you are actively cooking, chances are that people go in and out the room(or house) and that is enough air exchange not to be a hazard.

A gas stove will produce carbon monoxide if the oxygen levels in the room get too low to support complete combustion.

I'm sure companies remove chemicals that would lead to early creation of carbon dioxide in the das in the gas stoves. Unless you plan on leaving the stove on for a week without any open windows, you should be safe.

fossil fuel equals carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a gas formed as a by product during the incomplete combustion of all fossil fuel

all gas appliances create carbon dioxide (Co2). when you get incomplete combustion it will turn to carbon monoxide-(CO). too high of gas pressure, dirty burners and not enough combustion air are three of the biggest causes of carbon monoxide. your flame will look yellow and lazy most of the time when it is producing CO. it is a good idea to have a CO detector anyway.

Many people commited suicide by using the gas stove. It is just as dangerous so please be careful
