Every time I see one of these threads about hoods, be it whatever kind,
I have to ask: why do you even need one? For years homeowners made out
okay without any type of range hood. I know, some are going to argue
about smells getting around the house, grease spatters, etc. So what's
the big deal about smelling food cooking in the house? And no hood is
going to do anything about grease spatters. You'd need suction power
that's simply not available to the domestic buyer. And why would you
want to pull up grease spatters? Not too bright of an idea.

So a kitchen shows signs of usage. Like Emeril says: "we're really doing
cooking here".

This missive is coming from someone who runs a Viking 36 inch stove
without any type of hood and without any type of problem.
