Frying bacon triggers smoke alarm - what the....

[ras.robshort]

We put a plastic sandwich bag over the detector temporarily and then remove it when we are done cooking. Works great just don't forget to take it away when you are done cooking

Always has been a problem when using the toaster. Small shower type cap works or as we recently have been doing, I take the alarm down off the ceiling (easy to do, just pull a locking pin and turn the unit). After breakfast I put the unit back up.

My theory is that is not a smoke alarm at all. It's a "you're about to eat fried food that'll eventually kill you" alarm.
