Hi

 

I let my wife have a gas hob against my better judgement, because she does most of the cooking.  I wanted an induction hob.  She keeps accidently leaving the gas running when we go out / overnight.

 

Does anyone know the best model for an LPG leak alarm that has a low threshold, I want to mount in near the hob so it goes off if the gas is slowly leaking.  I think the chance of an explosion is probably fairly low because we have an open plan kitchen, but there have been several times when I have either got up in the morning or got home from being out to find the gas is running on the stovetop.  I think she turns it off then turns it past off and back to on again.

 

Ideally I'd like to buy a gas detector where the detector is on a lead so I can please it low on the bench near the stovetop (LPG is heaver than air).

The temperature for the thermocouple will be hundreds of degrees not tens of degrees.

Is it one that you have to press down to turn from the off position? Can it be slightly on and hold itself down?

Is it possible something is being left on the knobs holding them down?
