Abstract
A proximity ventilated cooking system for interior use is provided with means for providing effective exhaustive ventilation to maintain in a variety of installations an air flow velocity adjacent the burners and throughout the exhaust system that has sufficient velocity to capture and carry to atmosphere substantially all of the cooking gasses, vapors and fumes produced in cooking, but insufficient velocity adjacent the burners to produce undesirable cooking and burner heat distribution, and where gas burners are used, interference with desirable flame patterns.
