Does anyone know the proper style of smoke detector for the room containing my wood stove? The current detector falses quite regularily with a roaring fire, yet no sign of visible smoke in the room (my stove has excellent draft) it seems like it is just reponding to the rapid increase in temperature. I plan to replace the current detector with a new one that has a pause feature for false alarm occasions, but do I want an Ionization detector, or a photoelectric style?? any recommendations?
a site on the net stated this: "The ionization detector responds slightly quicker to flaming fires (like draperies), with smaller particles of combustion, while the photo-electric detector responds quicker to smoldering fires (like a cigarette.)"
Thanks in advance
