Hey Dick_B don't you mean that your fire alarm goes off when your wife cooks pancakes? Our fire alarm goes off too when cooking anything that may scorch. Our CO detector has never gone off when using our Heater Buddy - we have this for boondocking or dry camping - easily uses a propane bottle a day if it runs a lot, even on low. Yes, we keep a window cracked near it. Would love to invest someday in a portable catalytic heater - that doesn't use any electricity and keeps the inside comfortable. You either mount them permanently or use a stand with them, which would be something to watch for with kids around.
