marath Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Hi I have a fireplace (stove) in the living room that always had some smoke problems, for the last 10 years...However after warm up it has proved to work well. Never have smoke after heating. This season starts to make smoke at night, after we go to sleep and this is a problem. Until i succeed to solve this I need a smoke alarm, no a heat alarm but a smoke alarm to alert me if during the night this happens...some suggestions? Thanks in advance and sorry about poor English.

Safelincs Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Hi Marath The smoke in your case is not really a fire risk, so a smoke alarm is not really helpful. You are, however, at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Cooling fires produce significant amounts of carbon monoxide and if this leaks into the room, you are at risk. You should consider buying a carbon monoxide detector. More info about carbon monoxide Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sutton Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 In addition to what Harry has said you should be trying to rectify the original problem which appears to be that the stove in not drawing properly, (sucking in air to support the combustion) check out http://www.ehow.com/how_12150359_improve-draw-woodburning-stove-burn-better.html which may help.
