Mine in the kitchen is a real pain, it goes off whenever I am using the oven - especially when using high heat cooking a roast and fixings. Sometimes I'd like to tear the thing off the wall!

In fact, I have the plastic dust cover which comes with the alarm in place right now. I have another in the LR and one right behind the kitchen in a bedroom so I think I am pretty well covered for smoke alarms.
