Quoting Ruben Safir (ruben.safir-at-my.liu.edu):

Well, you can fix that using a screwdriver (and stepladder). Unscrew the mount bracket from its present location. Find a spot on the wall that you can reach. Screw the mount bracket ot the wall there.
There. Making it shut up when you cook is not just a matter of walking over to it, detaching it, and temporarily putting it on a bookcase until you're done cooking. Not turning it off.
> You can here it 8 floors high and it > ALWAYS goes off when i cook.... every time.
The one that goes off at my house is 8' from the stove and oven. (The others never do.) Even if it went off _every_ time I cooked, I would just take four strides over to move it to a bookcase, four strides back to the stove.
After cooking, four strides, move the detector, four strides. Barely worth noticing.
In fact, that's what I actually do, every time it does go off from (some) cooking. Not even tempted to switch it off, let alone the four others elsewhere in the house.
> Want to make a list of things that would make a usable smoke detector?
I notice without objection that you've ignored my question.
