What to look for in an Airbnb smoker
Platform and code requirements first. Airbnb asks you to declare smoke and CO alarms, and many jurisdictions require inspection-grade placement. This is the one furnishing category where the buying criterion is compliance, not preference.
10-year sealed batteries. Sealed-battery alarms eliminate both the 2am chirp complaint and the guest who removes the battery to cook. Interconnected units are the upgrade for multi-floor listings.
Visible enough to reassure, placed to function. A mounted extinguisher in the kitchen and a labeled first-aid kit read as professionalism in reviews. Placement per NFPA guidance, not decor.
How many do you need?
Alarms per code on every level, one extinguisher in the kitchen (plus one per floor in larger homes), one first-aid kit in an obvious spot, and a fire escape note in the welcome book.
Care and replacement
Monthly alarm test, quarterly kit restock, extinguisher gauge check at every deep clean, and calendar the 10-year alarm replacement.
