You don't want one in the kitchen, it could go off every time you start cooking, some are very sensitive, I was soldering a joint on my daughters central heating system, the smoke alarm was 8ft up and 6ft left and the fumes from the flux when the solder melted set the alarm off twice, talk about ginger skid marks, nearly.
You could put one on the living room ceiling about 2 - 3ft from the kitchen door, if the kitchen door was to be closed when a fire broke out, it would be a while before the alarm went off, if it was in the kitchen and all the doors were closed, would you hear it anywhere in the house. If in doubt ring the Fire Brigade its entirely FREE, and Firemen don't bite.
Retlaw.
