My tabletop steak with the flamethrower thing induced a migraine in my
wife. By the time she left for work she was feeling somewhat better,
but no more grilling in the house until I actually have a dedicated
space, with a range hood vented to the outdoors. About 5 weeks until my
son moves out, and I can start converting his "sunroom" into an indoor
grilling room. With the range hood I can even burn wood/charcoal. The
sunroom has a gas line to it, and I kept the old gas range from the
rental property when we replaced it with a modern one to increase the
rental value.

It would be fun to think about that, but I still feel bad about
unintentionally harming my wife.

Grilling inside on the dining room table.
Converting a bedroom into an indoor grilling room even for
wood/charcoal. oh man.
Even the fictitious "Summer" would report you to the SL authorities and
get that shut down quickly.

Why not take your grilling outside? Too cold? BooHoo. Wear a coat.

In 5 weeks, the weather will be nice enough most days to grill outdoors.
Last Sunday I was out there grilling at 20 F, but with a very light wind.

It's funny, but will will be out there grilling in a T shirt at
temperatures that we would have thought to cold for grilling at the end
of last season.

the smell alone afterwards would be the main reason
i'd never do that. even in a special room it is going
to stink.

we had an electric grill in our home when i was young.
pretty much what you'd expect a hot element with a
wire rack over it in an aluminum enclosure. it worked
but the smoke that came off it carried oils and smells
that stuck to the walls and everything else.

pretty much smelled like a restaurant when you opened
in the morning after it had been empty all night. nasty.
until you start cooking again...

grill outside.

If I never got laid, I'd be even more ill tempered than you.

My kitchen is kind of like that because of all the frying. That's
why I want a dedicated area with a vented range hood.

Believe me, I'm not going to incur my wife's displeasure again
by grilling on the table. If I actually do modify that sunroom into
a grilling/frying area, I'm going to wash down the kitchen walls
with TSP and repaint them.

Even with a cooking hood, well used kitchens have a degree of grease on
the walls and cabinets. Ceiling too, of course.

TSP is a good cleaner but not so much for greasy areas.
If you're going to clean and repaint, try "Greased Lightning."

Even better is "Wilbond" but you won't like using that. For that, you
need to open all windows plus wear a full filtered respirator (not a mask).

Both products are available at some hardware stores or paint stores. A
quart of either should be enough for a kitchen.

That only works if it's vented to the outdoors, and still not 100%. We
have an exhaust fan hood over our stove thats vented to the outdoors
and still on windy days it'll blow back. And that's not from
grilling, it's just for normal cooking in a pan. An outdoor grill is
the only way to go, and be certain it meets the fire code for distance
from combustibles. About ten years ago a fellow I worked with was
grilling on a wooden deck, it caught fire and spread to his house, the
house was destroyed and he lost his 4 year old daughter. He lit the
charcoal and while waiting for it to get hot he walked across the
street to talk to his neighbor. He claimed he was only gone for five
minutes but the fire marshal didn't believe him.
I would never do any grilling indoors... I never leave the kitchen
while waiting for pot of water for pasta to come to a boil. It's too
easy to get distracted and lose track of time. I never use the
stove's broiler... I don't think stoves should be made with a
broiler... a broiler is an upside down grill... broilers don't belong
indoors. The appliance that causes the most house fires is a toaster
oven.
