Will the silence button work to silence it when there is a lot of smoke from cooking? or is the silence button only for the low battery?

Zach, never had to silence my SC7010B since installing it. This model is recomended by the mfg. for areas mentioned on this link.even with the two silence features ( S&C;) if you are smoking up the whole kitchen a lot, I would recomending using the dusk cover supplied with it before cooking fried food, etc. Always try to remember to remove the cover when finished.. if you are in your 70's like me, write yourself a note and stick it beside your kitchen light switch.

The silence button silences the alarm if it goes off. When the batteries are low it sounds a soft chirp. I have not tried to silence the low battery sound, I have only replaced the battery. My guess is the silence button would stop the low battery sound for only a little while.

I've never let it run on since it is so loud, although I believe it will keep sounding until it is manually turned off, like a smoke alarm. This is easily done using the remote which works at quite a good distance.

If you leave it on the last setting, which is for alerts and warnings, it will be silent unless an alert is issued in your area. This will run down the battery. I only turn it on to the middle setting when the weather is ominous or I want the forecast. You will receive alerts and warnings on this setting also.

If it sounds, anyone can turn it off. Not sure what purpose it would serve when you are not present. The battery probably would not last several hours.

Yes, I have used it for salmon, steak, vegetables, etc. It does create some smoke in the kitchen. It didn't set off the smoke alarm. I simply opened the window and glass door in the dining area and it cleared. Some people start their meat in the smoker, then transfer to a fry pan or to the oven to finish -- less smoke that way.

no smoke at all. The only thing would be a little steam other than that the smoker detector won't go off. But don't do what I did, I forgot to pat my potatoes for french fries and because of the dampness the fryer did overflow with grease which is to be expected - but no smoke. I have really been having problems frying DUH!!You will enjoy the fryer a very safe product and honest no smoke. At least I don't have any smoke.Jaw

It acts as a switch for the circuit in your panel. When it detects smoke/heat it will close the circuit permiting line voltage to set off your alarm.

Usually if you silence the source that triggered the alarm they will all shut off but if you silence any that did not trigger the alarm only that one will be silenced. It is suppose to help to identify which one was triggered while also allow alarms throughout the whole house which is mostly useful when a fire start at night while sleeping. It's unclear if these actually talk and identify the location like the talking Kidde models do. Kidde also make a model that can link wired interconnect to wireless interconnects. I do not think First Alert make a unit that useful. It all either wired or wireless and not both, really pretty lame by comparison.

Yes if it's on and heating you should hear the fan. There is the mode where just the flames light up (no heat) and that setting is silent

I very seldom turn it off or down. I use it to keep cool and as a white noise machine. I have never had one quit working. My niece took one and still has it. That's why I ordered 2:)

When it is on the fan is running. That is the only noise to be heard, The noise will go away when the burner is turned off. I don't seem to mind the sound.

Goodness NO! It's not "Smokeless"! There is no 'ventilation' of any kind provided with this grill. If you're going to cook anything that gives off a lot of smoke you most assuredly will need to use an exhaust hood or whatever keeps your smoke alarms from going off. That said ... I've never had an issue with alarms going off while cooking : burgers, steak, chicken, salmon, hot dogs, etc etc etc. I'd guess that you don't realize with this type of a grill, the grease runs off. Meaning the food doesn't sit in burning (and smoking) hot grease, the way it does in a pan.

There is no on/off switch. The smoke is created from food-grade oil in the smoke stack. When it burns off, the smoke should stop.

No, there is no option to silence the music. You seldom notice it after the first thousand times. The usefulness of the boiler far outweighs the short sound. If mine stopped working, I would immediately buy another.

It does have a mute button. Unfortunately it is too easy to turn on as sometimes I accidentally mute myself.

I have one of these smokers. It only produces a small wisp of smoke on high heat and nothing noticeable on a lower heat. Will not set off smoke alarms or anything like that. Your house will have odor of the smoke while cooking and you might still get a slight sniff of it the next morning but it is nothing objectionable or overpowering.
