Why not just put the smoke in the bedroom itself?

IMHO yes, each level requires a device.

That is an interesting scenario, the smoke is not supposed to be installed within 20ft of an ignition source.

The loft question is one I would ask the official who inspects the alarms, and while at it, ask his advice about the kitchen.
