Ya, take it in the garage (with the doors open) and start your push mower.
It should go off pretty quick. Those small engines really put it out..

I forget what brand I have -- I can check -- but when I called them
with a question I asked about putting it near the furnace to check if
it was working and the woman on the phone said not to, that it would
overload and ruin the sensor, I think.

They have a convenient spray that allows you to test the sensor
elements of a smoke detector

(most alarms have no way to test the sensors when you press the test
button)

Is there a similar aerosol or method of thoroughly testing a CO
detector?
I couldn't find anything from a web search

Thanks
