They will produce quite a bit more heat than that electric space heater. Noooo thats a good way to wakeup below ground from Co poisoning. Never use a stove for heating. I read and hear that all the time. If the range burners are that dangerous, they are not suited for their intended purpose anyway. So if you are afraid of CO poisoning, remove the range and throw it away, along with the furnace, since it can leak and kill you too.
Regardless of your philosophy on stoves and ovens, if you use any kind of gas appliance, keep a working CO detector with fresh batteries.
The dose makes the poison.
The problem with using the stove for heat is how long you use it. Cooking only uses it for a little bit.
and BTW in new super insulated houses people usually put in electric appliances, not gas just because of the CO issue
