This is what I use. It doesn't go off all the time when cooking <Broken link removed>
I think that's the one I fitted to our van (which had neither when we bought it). It's certainly a Fire Angel even if not that model.I personally would use separates, but do a combined unit and have a good reputation.

myself and @andy63 discussed this very subject just before xmas (Andy x fireman /training officer) I asked where the combined unit should go IE high up or low down -after five mins we decided just like Geo said that COs very slighly HEAVIER than Air but smoke rises and Andy said that CO is caused by burning so it would initially rise with the smoke/heat -conclusion fit it higher rather than lower Of course I threw mine on the dash Still never found a place to actually fit the thingAm i wrong in thinking that Most smoke is ligher than air (because its usually warmer) it rises anyway
and Co is heavier than air
Yes and No its a myth that Co detectors should be fitted lower down and smoke detectors higher up.
Co is in fact very slightly heavier than air and spreads around a room very evenly so the combined units work very well where ever you put em
Not often you get a question with the answer at the same time

We did indeed.. and if I was been really fussy not tight to the ceiling or wall where they meet...ie if on wall a few inches down wall from ceiling and if on ceiling a little out from wall... That area can be a bit of a dead space ,so not ideal but that's been really fussy lol...myself and @andy63 discussed this very subject just before xmas (Andy x fireman /training officer) I asked where the combined unit should go IE high up or low down -after five mins we decided just like Geo said that CO
