How do we know these things are working? I tried to test this by burning paper, putting it out blowing the smoke inside the unit, still Zero?

This is not a smoke detector it is a CO detector/alarm ... try holding it near your car exhaust pipe when it is running...?

It's not a smoke alarm, it's a carbon monoxide alarm.I can tell you I know mine worked because at 4am when me and my girlfriend were sleeping the alarm went off and saved our lives. Also when the fire department showed up the sensor gave the same reading as the sensors they brought. I went and bought 2 more the next day.

This is not a smoke detector this is for burning coal or natural gas Anything that puts off carbon dioxide.

Have you made sure its free from dust? I would wipe the entire heater (front and back) with a damp cloth, let it dry, then try it out. If it still smokes after that, sounds like its safest to replace it. It's worth trying to clean it first. You should dismount it from the wall to clean and dry it. Good luck!

I only used mine once. I don't recall a lot of smoke but I did place the unit beneath my stove vent and turned the fan on as I recall. The fan is loud and I recall leaving it on so there must have been some smoke/steam.

I don't know what to tell you, mine fired right up and went to work. Maybe a test print or unplug the machine? Sorry!

I've used mine twice without a bit of smoke. How did you clean the unit. Spray 409 let it stand a while, spray again and let it stand awhile longer. Then take a wet Mr Clean kitchen sponge over the entire unit inside and out. Wipe dry for a brand new looking unit. I couldn't believe how clean the unit came using the 409/Mr Clean kitchen sponge. Smoke, there might be food touching the unit as it rotates which, I would like, would cause smoke. Make sure that no food touches the heating unit while the food is rotating.

I had nothing glowing on mine. Return it if you still can. The next thing that goes out is the fan motor. I had 2 of these. I just received the 2nd one plugged it in and the fan went out. Biggest piece of junk.

Mine didn't show anything after it blew up in a puff of black smoke.Junk! Save your money and find something else.

Problem could be very, but check the ignitor to see if it is too close to the burner and did not make enough spark, the other thing to check is to make sure the wire is ground, otherwise it will not spark.

That sound like a good project.This product does not have a battery, so it only is powered when plugged in and the current is on.if you take it out of the cigarrete lighter it goes off.

The smoke generator really stinks. You may have put too much in - turn it over and see if any oil drains out and try again.

Apparently you did not bother to read the comment I posted. The unit I got caught on fire when it was plugged in. As in call the fire department smoke. It was returned. Good luck.

I haven't had a chance to test the tester out. There are sites on the internet you can check on and I tried to find some instructions on this - sorry.

not sure why your unit doesn't fire...have you checked the igniter? Mine only refused fire once because I wasn't releasing the igniter correctly...I used a long nosed gas grill lighter that day...then I figured out to push and release the igniter correctly and have not had any problems since Really do like this gas grill!!

My only suggestion would be to close the vents more to keep the heat in. Make sure you do not open the smoker either. Was it in a breeze? These are the only things I can suggest. Link to youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3Z_TUmUZb8&list=PLac9Z7pi1Oitbb6OQGvAR6kCpJ3vzXq3E

Hold the 'filter reset' button (the small button with the looping arrow) down for like 15 or 30 seconds. If it still doesn't reset - sometimes I think the filter really is clever or insane and you might want to double-check that everything is making contact and there's no soot shorting anything out, but I think I only ever had one be 'stubborn' once.
