Our yearly reminder. Get those thumbs in the air and check those Carbon Monoxide alarms as we head into colder times.

Winter is Coming.

Went off the other night while cooking in the MH. Good to check it regularly.

Is it right that a Carbon Monoxide alarm will go off when cooking :-/
I have both Carbon Monoxide and Smoke detector units, the smoke one goes off regularly when cooking (toasting, frying, etc) but the Carbon Monoxide one has never gone off, it is tested regularly and gives the flash every minute or so.

For what it's worth, I also have a smoke detector in the garage over the area where all the electronics (solar charge controller, B2B, mains charger, etc., etc,) are located.

Is this the answer.
What triggers a carbon monoxide alarm?
Any fuel-burning appliance that is malfunctioning or improperly installed. Furnaces, gas range/stove, gas clothes dryer, water heater, portable fuel-burning space heaters, fireplaces, generators and wood burning stoves. Vehicles, generators and other combustion engines running in an attached garage.

However, the alarms in both types of detector could sound at the same time for some fires. If there's smoke in your home, there might also be carbon monoxide emission. But if there's unsafe levels of carbon monoxide in your home, there won't often also be smoke.
