solid fuel burning stove of any sort, what do you get if you knock it over? a few sparks, a pile of burning coals that's easy to put out(as opposed to liquid fuels, which tend to spread when you try to use water on them, and continue to burn if you throw dirt/ash on them...) with water or dirt.

huh.

thinking about it that way makes it seem pretty strange...

Yep, I live in an area that gets burn bans in summer, and any liquid or gas fuel stove is okay, but if it burns solids, no go. Even charcoal grills are out. Never seen a spark thrown from one of those, aside from the fireball that occasionally results when too much lighter fluid is used.
