My son has an Asian wife and a down draft cook top. They do a lot of
wok cooking and the down draft vent is less than useless. Not only
does it NOT remove any odours or vapour, it tends to pull the gas
flame sideways away from the wok.
They are in the process of getting a proper hood installed and will
try to use the vent fan from the down draft for it.
