Abstract
A vent hood is provided for a stove having a plurality of burners. The vent hood includes a housing with a plurality of slots extending substantially around the perimeter of the housing through which cooking vapors pass. The hood includes a plurality of chambers to balance the air flow through the hood. An exhaust duct extends from the housing to an exhaust fan such that air is drawn upwardly through the slots, into the housing, and out the exhaust duct. The air is passed through an air filter for removal of odors and grease particles before being discharged back into the ambient kitchen air.
