I agree that a recirculating vent is not much help. -- Dave www.davebbq.com |

If you don't fry a lot, this may not matter. But, I once watched as a neighbor attempted to paint his kitchen. Even after doing a fairly good job cleaning the walls, the paint would not stick. It was like trying to paint waxed paper. His wife was into fried chicken big time. |

I KNOW, I was being facetious. I was replying to Joe's claim that they don't do anything except "get steam out of your face and relocate particulates from the stove & walls onto the ceiling", which a ridiculous claim. Jill |

So your point is that Joe's claim is ridiculous, and you answered it by giving a non sequitur? Here's an analogous argument: Joe: Taking the air cartridges out of air bags renders the air bags useless. Jill: Then why do all the taxis I've seen have air bags? I dunno; your point's kung fu is pretty weak... Bob |

Re-read what Joe posted. He said "not" out. Like the range hoods that just circulate the air through a filter. |

Here it is again: "venting up and NOT out is useless, except for getting steam out of your face." Restaurant hoods vent to the outside. |
