> [@efolsom](#): > > consistently reliable no such thing, have a backup if necessary. They all work, but not all work the same way. I use UEI CD200. The reason is response and recovery time. Also you can change the sensor, yourself. The cheaper models are often slower. If you find one that is faster and less $$$, let me know 🙂 ---

Hi. Primarily natural gas but I’m open to combination. ---

Best natural gas detector is your nose. For pinpointing leaks a spray bottle with soapy water. Most of the electronics are subject to false positives. ---
