Anything that can burn has been used as fuel for cooking. This includes, but is not limited to:
methane, butane oil (various grades),animal fatcow, yak, buffalo manure ,liquid alcohol ,solid alcohol waxes and paraffins, gasoline and kerosene
wood ,coal ,straw, charcoal ,peat etc
Fuels burned for cooking are usually burned in conditions of plentiful air and low temperatures so the production of CO and NOx is low. Burning of biomass can create organic emissions as volatiles are boiled out of the unburned material. Carbon dioxide emissions are lowest with methane and highest with coal, peat and charcoal.
Hope it helps!!
