Smoking in the house

It's... kind of both. If I remove the battery, the wire supplies enough power to keep it beeping every few minutes, so I disconnected it altogether for now. Last time it went off (cooked steaks inside), the hush button kept it quiet for a only a minute or so. Maybe I'll push my luck with it connected.

I don't know if this would work in this situation, but back in the seventies when my smoking ranged to ah...more 'exotic blends', we were driving in a smoked filled car, got pulled over, and a couple blasts of Ozium not only cleared the air but eliminated the smell before the officer got to the window...
