Explosive gas will not trigger carbon monoxide detectors, even at high concentrations. Usually people rely on the bad smell (like rotten eggs) that is added to natural gas/propane as a warning system. However, we have seen situations where gradual accumulation prevented detection due to nose blindness. A few years ago a man and woman came home from date night and could smell natural gas in their driveway as they pulled up. Their two teenage boys were at the back of the small house (1500 sq ft) playing video games and hadn't noticed a thing. One of them had nudged a kitchen stove burner knob and it was hissing out gas, filling the house. After that, they got one of the these alarms [amazon.com] and put it in their kitchen. Tested by leaving a burner slightly on, unlit...the alarm went off in under five minutes. I have the same unit in my own kitchen.
One last important point: if you smell gas in your house, do not start opening windows to air it out. Explosive gasses are only explosive at relatively low concentrations with air. Propane is only about 10%; methane around 15%. By the time you smell it, it's possible your concentrations could be higher than that. Opening windows could pull you back into the "danger zone". Don't ventilate; evacuate. Call the fire department. We can determine the concentrations and ventilation needs, as well as speed ventilations with fans that are low-risk for causing explosions.
Remember, as a general rule (in the US at least):
• We won't charge you for our help
• You are not bothering us
• If anything, you are probably making our day more interesting
• It is good practice for us
• We are then on-hand in case anything does explode
Alright, enough rambling from me. Be safe, everyone.

Yes, I do prefer the detectors with a cord to mount the unit higher up, but you could plug this into an extension cord and sit on a shelf or whatever, or use the battery backup that would need to be verified for longevity.

Regardless, every home with any gas or fossil fuel appliance should have a carbon monoxide detector.

Because carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air and also because it may be found with warm, rising air, detectors should be placed on a wall about 5 feet above the floor. The detector may be placed on the ceiling. Do not place the detector right next to or over a fireplace or flame-producing appliance. Keep the detector out of the way of pets and children. Each floor needs a separate detector. If you are getting a single carbon monoxide detector, place it near the sleeping area and make certain the alarm is loud enough to wake you up.

I've read it's better to get separate detectors though as they may expire at different times.
