In the last six weeks, every time, after I am handling my cheeses, not the making but the brineing, affiange and air drying- my smoke/gas alarm goes off -- usually at o'dark hundred. There is no fire, no smoke so I am thinking, it is detecting the cheese gassing off? Or am I a mad hatter ? )))
Anyway, the first time this happened I am stumbling about looking for fire/smoke and kind neighbours call the police and then come to check on me. This is great, I REALLY appreciate it....mind you the police show up 4 hours later at 3 am and warn me about carbon monoxide poisoning.
I put up a stand-alone, not hard-wired unit, outside my bedroom ( despite the old stories, Carbon monoxide is lighter than air...)and that unit has never gone off but the hard-wired ones do. They are less than ten years old. Opening a window on my bedroom floor shuts it off, gets a bit chilly in Feb in Canada, but ok.
Anyone else experience this?
Is it cheese gremlins??
