Smoke Alarms....

I'm a firm believer in smoke alarms, but dang it...I can't even make a piece of toast without that thing going off. The only thing I can think of would be to relocate it to a different location. Right now it is above the door and our kitchen is right across from the doorway. Any ideas..?

  • I have gottn in a habbit of installing a mini STSP switch so I can turn it off in those instances.
  • I can see how annoying having the alarm that sensitive could be.

    Does your over-stove vent not work? That should be able to remove the smoke from making the morning toast. If not, I think that's due for a fix before you try to monkey with the smoke alarm or its location.
  • Sometimes we have to remove battery, cook and replace batter. I leave battery compartment "door" hanging down so I am reminded to put battery back in.

    As small an area as MH is, I'm not sure relocating would help much.
