The Best Gas or electric Stove Alarms

This is our list of the best gas or electric stove alarms, reminders, and shut-off devices.

Before we begin, we need to define some stove safety device categories. Some products only work on gas stoves, some only work on electric stoves and some work on both gas and electric.

  1. Explosive Gas Detectors: Detectors are devices that monitor gases, such as gas leak detectors or smoke detectors. They only work with gas stoves.
  2. Stove Alarm/Reminders: These are devices that keep reminding you that your stove burner has been left “ON”, but will NOT shutOff your stove.
  3. Stove ShutOff devices: These are stove devices that will ShutOff your Stove if left unattended.

Explosive Gas Stove Detectors

  1. Gas detectors are exactly what the name implies, they detect gas. You may be familiar with carbon Monoxide detectors that will detect CO gas and trigger an alarm to get you to safety. CO is odorless and very dangerous and will KILL you and your family if you are not made aware of it’s presence.
  2. BUT, did you know that there are natural gas and LP gas alarm detectors that will alert you to a natural gas or LP gas leak? Appliances like a gas stove with its burner ON without the flame. YES, that rotten egg smell will be detected and you will be alerted. There are some detectors that combine CO, LP and natural gas detection in one device. See these gas leak detector products below.

The Kidde Nighthawk explosive gas detector will detect CO gas, LP gas and Natural gas. Two alarms in one detector.

If You only need explosive gas detection look at Zorvo Plug-in Digital gas detector. Zorvo will detect multiple gases, including LP, natural gas, coal gas, gas fuel, and methane gas.

Stove Alarms/Reminders (do not shut off stove) But Remind You Your Stove or Range is “ON”

  1. Stove Alarms / reminders will send out an alert, usually an audible alert or some visual alert to inform you that your stove burner has been turned to the “ON” position.
  2. There is only one stove Alarm / Reminder that will work with gas and electric stoves, BurnerAlert Stove Alarm, Stove Alert. You do not need special tools for installation.
  3. If you don’t need the “shut down your stove” feature, then BurnerAlert Stove Alarm may be your answer. However, if you need to have absolute control over the stove please continue reading for solutions for gas and electric stoves.
  4. BurnerAlert can be monitored with Amazon Alexa thru your Wifi . Text messages, emails or TV alerts can be sent to your smartphone to notify you, even if you leave the house (must have smart phone with you). See More here.
