Default Do we need a methane/propane detector?

Recently, I heard that a methane/propane detector is recommended in
addition to a smoke and CO detectors. I have gas (methane)
appliances (oven, stove, two furnaces, fireplace, water heater,
clothes dryer), but currently rely on the additive in gas (and my
nose) to detect leaks. Since CO is completely odorless and very
poisonous a CO detector makes a lot of sense. Most modern gas
appliances have safey shut-off features. So, do we really need a
methane detector?


I'm afraid I would be setting the darn thing off every
time I ate dairy products.
