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?



It is not he heat, but particles from combustion. You don't have to
see them for the smoke detector to catch them.

If the detector is in the same room, I'd move it to the next room or
hallway to it. I'd also check the connection of the stove pipe, door
gaskets, etc.
