Does a pure blue flame with little or no flecks of yellow indicate that no carbon monoxide is being produced? Is a slight fluctuation in the height of the flame any cause for alarm interms of CO production?
Would more CO be produced inside the oven, due to less oxygen being available?

a blue flame on a bunsen burner indicates an efficient combustion

a yellow flame indicates an inefficient combustion
