I know you're going to get a Carbon Monoxide detector, but I also recommend (just to keep things compact) getting a combination CO/Smoke detector. You can get multi-packs as well to put in different areas of your house. You should have one in the bedroom, hallway, kitchen, etc... depending on size of the place.
I own three of these and recommend them. I love that they talk and tell you what they’re alarming over. We’ve had them 2.5 years so far, no issues. It even has a hush mode voice command that works in case cooking sets it off.
I don’t think it’s mandatory to have them.
If you are buying smoke detectors, look for the smoke / carbon monoxide combos.
Such as this one for $25 on Amazon
I JUST installed three of these--one on each floor of my house. Combination smoke detector + carbon monoxide detector. $32 each on AMZN:

After installation, I pressed the button to test it, and it beeps loud A.F and then a female voice says "smoke detected" or "carbon monoxide detected". Freaking awesome.
Not so much, this one is $25.
