I have a house wired smoke alarm. I noticed that a burned English muffin

On the other hand if I leave my wood stove door open too long and I see
a cloud of smoke in the room it will NOT set of the alarm.
Just an observation. I know many false alarms are set off in apartments
and assisted living places because of burned toast.
Maybe it's not really a smoke alarm but a burned toast alarm.

Hell, I've got one that gets set off by the steam from my shower. I had
to move it to the other side of the room to get it to keep quiet.
