If that were true then the stove, without the heater on top, would be just
as dangerous.  And so would the millions of people that have gas stoves and
ovens  in their homes.  Big, big difference between an efficient, clean
burning flame in a properly engineered gas burner and smoldering charcoal in
a BBQ.  And great grandma live into her '90s heating with a kerosene
heater.  Maybe a little more caution in the confined (but well ventilated
with the top up) space in a WEsty but still basically safe.
