What triggers a smoke alarm? im making bacon and it went stale. in contained by a dorm and my neighbors on both sides their alams went bad, they are inter connected. does the smell of food make it jump off?
Answers:    There are two types of smoke detectors. Ionization type smoke detector senses products of combustion (ionized particles) and is most potential the type smoke detectors installed. These detectors should not be installed within 20 foot of a kitchen or bathroom because they are so sensitve. The detectors are interconnected (as required) so that if one detector senses smoke it will trip all the smoke detectors.
This type detector provides untimely warning to flash or swift moving fires. In a residential application the photo electric type smoke detector should be used. This technology senses smoke by light scattering of the particle in the sensing chamber and is more sensitive to slow smoldering fires near heavy black smoke.

I hope this help.
