Smoke or Heat Alarms?

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?

  • My log burner is in an open plan kitchen/diner - so has Heat + CO detectors. Smoke spill is normally rare - but can happen - especially due to user error (e.g. opening both the man door and ashpan door at the same time.
