[quote=Anonymous]Is the smoke detector between the front door and the kitchen? If so, opening the front door might be pulling the smoke into the house (and to the smoke detector) depending on how the air flows through your house. Before we replaced our hood, we had similar problems. Had to cook with all the kitchen windows open, crappy oven fan running, and then a counter fan aimed to blow the smoke out a back window to try to keep the smoke from circulating through the house. We also replaced our smoke detectors with ones that are not ridiculously sensitive. I feel confident that they protect us (they have always sounded when there was actual smoke) but not everytime we cook something like our original ones did when we bought the house. [/quote]
