i just want to clarify that point - the reason i asked for the CO detector was because i hoped it would also have a CH4 detector in it, which i was worried about due to the rotting egg smell and the subsequent headaches. and, i'd just point out that if you're going to rewire the smoke alarm anyways, it would probably make sense to include a CH4 (that is, methane) detection in it. 'cause you're doing it anyways, right?
i mean, i use the stove down here all of the time. if there ever is a leak, and i don't notice it....
