Smoke or Heat Alarms?

Zoomup
Mornin' All,

I am familiar with open fires that burn logs or coal.  I am not so familiar with enclosed "log burners" or enclosed "multi-fuel stoves".


When using these is there a chance of some or fumes being created when using them that could trigger a smoke alarm, especially at the time of first lighting them?


I am about to plan a system for a holiday let cottage that has two log burners in  two separate rooms. We don't want false alarms as the detectors will be interlinked.


Smoke or heat types?

    Well my personal experience with a friend's enclosed wood-burning stove was that, when first lit and if the wind was blowing the wrong way (or something), her lounge would initially fill with smoke until enough heat had built up to force a convection flow back up the chimney.
