Hi, We've currently got a single smoke detector at the top of the stairs (this seems to be the best location), however I regularly set the alarm off while cooking. Is there a smoke detector available with a remote control so that I can simply press the button from the kitchen and carry on cooking? Thanks.
is it a battery operated one or a mains wired one?
We have 4 alarms (2x heat, 2x smoke - the heat ones are in the boiler room because occasionally I get my furnace burns wrong and push out smoke, and the other heat one is in the kitchen for when Mrs S is doing toast) but they are wired together so that if one goes off they all go off - including the one 20ft above the stairwell - but they can all be silenced by pressing the button on any one of them.
Shut the kitchen door / learn to be a better cook / fit an extractor fan / stop making the whole house smell of your burned food.

TooTall has the most practical answer but remote control is available. I've only seen mains powered versions like [url= http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Fire_and_Smoke/Kidde_Wireless/index.html ]here[/url] as part of a wireless interconnect system. Battery versions may be available if you search.
