Testing a CO detector

You want to buy some INCENSE and light a piece. Put it in your stove's
oven along with your detector.
(DON'T turn the oven on - DUH!)
A digital meter should definitely reflect a substantial peak after a few
minutes.
I'm not sure whether a "go-no-go" detector would trip but I suspect it
would.
If you can't find incense, put a few lite cigaretes in.
Grin, find a friend who smokes and have them blow smoke at it. Should go
off pretty quick. Then you wont have a oven smell to deal with.
