Regular gas stoves? That's some recommendation, since the so-called "exhaust
fan" in most homes does nothing but hoist the air right back into the room.

For an exhaust fan to work properly you have to crack open a window. It's
that simple.

I'm talking about the typical range hoods you see in so many kitchens. They
take smoke or steam from the stove and do nothing but shoot it over your
head back into the room. Useless. Opening a window will do nothing.

DH says we must always crack a window to replace the air that is rushing
out; otherwise the air replacement will come through cracks in the walls,
outlets, etc. I'd rather have outdoor air coming in than through cracks,
perhaps making larger cracks, etc.

Frankly I don't like all that cold air gushing into the house, which the
furnace has to heat, but I guess it's better than having moist air flowing
up the cabinets.

Installing Allure III - finally -- tomorrow, I hope.

"Most" might be the operative word, but mine, at least, is vented through
the roof. Indoor grilling on a castiron grill pan over a strong gas burner
works pretty well. But it produces a lot of smoke and other airborne
polutants. I do it anyway as I usually cook only a single steak. It doesn't
take long and avoids the aggravating startup of my outdoor charcoal grill.

Outdoor grill: Aggravating because of the wait, or difficulty starting the
coals? If the latter, have you tried a chimney starter? $11.00 from Weber,
works like magic. Still a 30 minute wait, but no screwing around with fluid
or strange electric gadgets.
