Default Fire alarm

The heat from my wood stove sets off my smoke(heat) detector is there a detector that's better suited for use with a wood stove?


Not sure what you mean by heat detector, but if it thinks your house is
on fire,
your fire is too hot. Or it's mounted too close to the fire.

If it's a smoke detector, I'd suggest that there really is smoke and you
should fix the firebox ventilation.

If it's a CO detector, be happy you're not dead...yet...and fix
whatever hasn't killed you yet.

A less sensitive detector is NOT the first place I'd look for a solution.
