ANYTHING that causes smoke will set off a detector. They're made with Americium, a radioactive material that has the particles that it emits radiation between two electrodes. When smoke gets into the detector, it interrupts the flow of particles and sets it off. Probably best not to mess around with it.

maximum bigger end smoke detectors have a 2 way detection equipment. If it smells smoke and experience any drastic upward thrust in temperature its going to scream. the cheap ones pattern air each 30 seconds or so or maybe a smoking pan of frying fish will set it off..... My suggestion to you is to no longer prank your pals via tossing a smoke bomb. any opposite direction a smoke detector could be connected is thru a no longer worry-free cord telephone motor vehicle dial directly to the hearth dept. those men won't have a humorousness approximately that
