As the survivor of a complete loss house fire, I am all for sensitive smoke alarms. If it hadn't been for one, I, for one, wouldn't be here.
The first time our oven was used, there was lots and lots of smelly odors, smoke and fumes. Our smoke detector also went off. After it is used a couple of times, that smell does go away.
That being said, I use ours, but mostly, it is used to store kitchen utensils.
I have a large crockpot and a small crockpot that live in our RV. I have cooked an entire Thanksgiving dinner in our RV - turkey in the large crockpot, twice baked potatoes in a medium crockpot (from our house), green bean casserole in small crockpot, dressing, etc. It was a fabulous meal and not too hard to do.
