Wouldn't there be excess build up of CO if the stove were TOO tight???

My scheme is not to burn tons of the stuff, rather just a handful here and there when I will not be present to tend to the wood.
Seems like a few strategically placed pieces on top of a bed of wood might give good return.

I'm going to burn some over the summer to see how the coal reacts in different environments.
