This year make a resolution to have working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Replace batteries every year and test the alarm once a month.pic.twitter.com/wNBoxXW5wL

can you recommend a smoke alarm that works, as opposed to goes off whenever i do any normal cooking? i ripped mine off the ceiling last night because i had had enough of it!
Great question! Depending on the size of your home, we recommend smoke alarms are placed on every floor and outside sleeping areas, but not necessarily in kitchens for this exact reason. "Nuisance alarms" cause people to pull batteries out and never put them back.

we live in a travel trailer (from jayco) the entire thing is like 300 sq ft. the smoke alarm is basically in the kitchen, about 8 feet from the stove. it’s gone off with the vent fan on and even the kitchen window open a bit. nothing is visibly smoking.

Smoke alarms shouldn’t be installed within 10ft of cooking appliances. The national standard is inside and outside of places where people sleep. Some good news is that there’s a new UL standard coming for smoke alarms that’s supposed to reduce these nuisance alarms from cooking
