Making chicken stock?

Question

I'm starting a chicken stock. The typical bones, thighs, etc. approximately 2 gallon (7.5L). My oven is currently pre-heated to 410f (210c). I will be using the oven to cook a few different things at this temp for a few hours today. Is there any reason to not put the stock pot in the oven even for these few hours to get the heat going? I can finish on the stove, but I don't like the idea of leaving the kitchen if I have a pot on a open flame. I have young kids, and 2 dogs.

Thank you.

BTW-My kids aren't toddlers I'm leaving alone. I just like to be safe. If the range is on, I don't leave the kitchen.

Yes, the main reason is cross contaminants.  You should keep it separate as the flavor can be affected by other items cooking.

You can’t cook stock at that temp.

If I do stock in the oven it’s at 225 in covered enameled cast iron and I do it overnight.
