What gets me is how so many folks give little to no consideration for the ventilation hood above their ranges and then wonder why the smoke detectors are going off everytime they sear something...
The worst culprits? Those stupid microwave/vent combo's which usually just cycle the air back into the room via a filter and never have enough CFM to do much good. That and they hang so low that it's hard to reach taller pots on the rear burners..
Do yourself a favor - especially if you're getting a gas cooktop - make SURE you get at least 400cfm as you'll have a lot of BTU's coming off that cooktop.
Additionally, make sure you always crack a window because even the best ventilation systems around require that to work best in order to create a better updraft.
