CO is produced by any incomplete combustion - anything burning in a restricted airflow will produce it.
It's normally associated with gas because gas is generally so convenient. Unlike coal/charcoal where you have to keep going outside to get more fuel, or dispose of the ash. Hence it's easier to get killed by gas appliances.
But if there's enough fuel and you're wrapped up snug to keep the chill or the bugs out, coal, charcoal, wood or even Yak butter burners will produce lethal levels of CO.
