      I don’t even bother using the hood since it doesn’t vent outside. Though, seeing all these articles about gas stoves being bad for you makes me want to have a functional hood.

        Just because the hood doesn’t vent outside, doesn’t mean it’s useless. Just recirculating the dirty air through the filters goes a huge way in cleaning it up and reducing both smells and particles in the air.

        If you are using a gas stove, be sure to open a window when cooking, so clean air can come in.

        Also if you have a hood that vents outside: You NEED to open a window, otherwise the hood will get overwhelmed by the backflow and will not do anything.
