It’s always the nearest chair for me if I can’t reach, but to be honest the only one I couldn’t reach I didn’t put back up. It was on the wall separating the kitchen, so I kind of just set it on a table at the end of the wall, it not being on the wall at height is probably a negative, but I figured if it is closer to where the smoke has to wrap around the wall, it balances out.

I’ve tested it by making smash burgers… Still sets the damn thing off every time.

Also make me stop making smash burgers, because I was tired of moving the smoke detector outside, which my spouse seems to think is not the proper way to deal with to much smoke in the kitchen
