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?

    Nobody seems to have answered my original question.


    The wood burners are o.k. and have been professionally installed. That is not the concern.


    Used by people that are not used to log burners,  which do the rooms require a smoke alarm or a heat alarm? I am not concerned with CO alarms. The alarms are to be interlinked. I don't want the whole house awaken at night if a log burner smokes. 


    I think that I agree with Mike that an optical detector/alarm may be best, but with a big billowing cloud of smoke even they may trigger.
