Will Dry Burning of Natural Gas Explode

In the absence of a gas leak, natural gas typically doesn’t pose an explosion threat.

Yet, should water boil unmonitored for too long and overflow, extinguishing the gas flame, a consequential gas leak may ensue. If the gas accumulates to a critical concentration, it becomes explosive.

Prolonged periods of dry heating can initiate a fire, carrying an inherent risk of explosion.
