electrician says it's up to code, they never put them in the kitchen, detectors are to wake you up to get out of the house when it's burning, not to prevent fires.

Okey dokey. 60% of this house could hold 2 feet thick of smoke without it curling under an arch to reach a detector. I moved from a house with a detector in the kitchen and I'm gonna go get one and install it. I'd rather reset it after burnt toast..than to be one.
