It's true that perfect burning results in
carbon dioxide and water vapor. However
in my gas oven, the lower burner is below the
metal chamber in which the food is baked.
The burner heats the box, and the exhaust
from the flame goes up the flue, never
touching the food.

The upper burner is within the metal box,
but it would only be used for broiling,
not baking bread or a cake.
