Not just because of the risk of a fire in a place not designed for fire, but because it implies that the combustion process down below is not in a steady state.  I disagree that a seal on the bin is necessary to minimize the risk of back burn.  The beauty of a 'powerless', gadgetless,  gravity based process is that a good deal of risk is eliminated. After that it is a question of materials, construction and air flow.
