    I have what I think is a heat sensitive sprinkler fire alarms at work.
    I was thinking of getting a George foreman or pannini maker but I'm afraid it may set it off and ruin all the stock.
    I have no other room I can go to.
    How sensitive are these things?

    Depends on the type, can you see a coloured glass bulb in them ?
    The colour of the glass bulb is the way to tell their set point in one type of them.

    They'd have to be at a fairly sensible heat. I wouldn't worry unless your a foot away.

    I think it would take 60-70 degrees at the bulb to set them off. As said previously your pretty safe with a George forman or similar once its a normal room with adequate ventilation etc the temperature shouldn't come anywhere near that.

    Thinking of getting one of these

    Anyone know if this would let out steam of some sort from the oven section?
