units that were both battery operated,, wirelessly connected, and voice
alarms. This model fit the bill.

Not to be picky, but propane freezes at -310F, -190C
boils at -44F, -42C.

I convinced my wife that we really needed to get ventless logs for the
fireplace rather than monkey around with wood, so I just bought a couple combo

The only time your theory with height has a problem is if you heat with
propane. Propane is very heavy and thus they recommend 18 inches from the
