I think that has happened to all of us, I read about it, but on our maiden voyage Donna was fixing breakfast and had the toaster going, after about 1 minute that smoke alarm went off and I almost jumped through the roof, since I take the battery out during cooking but leave the lid hanging down to remind me to put battery back in. the furnace draws its combution air from outside to prevent false alarms, dust will not normally set off a smoke alarm.

I've heard of others that have a problem when cooking, but we've never experienced that. I'm betting that your furnace was burning off dust, etc as Tidalwave suggested. If it keeps going off when you run the furnace, try temporarily mounting one from your house (if they are battery operated) to see if the one from the Pod is just too sensitive. If you don't have any more problems with the furnace, try using he exhaust fan in the bathroom when you cook.

I have had the smoke alarm go off when cooking...but never had the alarm go off when the furnace came on. Smoke alarms generally detect the particles in smoke...I wonder if there is a lot of dust in the new furnace which is being blown out into the Pod. If so, the dust should quickly be blown out. The alarm mounting is pretty standard...you may wish to replace the alarm with a different alarm.
