Hello Joseph Meehar,
The reason i think i want a "hood" is because
it is to trap the nasty grease that wouldhave
traveled all through my house. So is that the
right thing to do?
Truly

Right answer. You can use a ventless hood to do that. They are
available most places where hoods are sold. I believe many hoods can be
installed either way.

I think so too.

I have a hood without a vent, but the electrician who wired these town
houses and also lived in one for many years put a vent in his house.
One could see the exit above his front sliding glass door.

The seller told me how expensive the replaceable charcoal filters are,
and they are, so I don't buy a replacement. The "spun" metal grill
can easily be washed in he dishwasher though. But I don't fry and
only broil, and don't use the fan much anyhow. So it doesn't get
dirty. I don't like the noise (either high or low speed), but maybe
newer ones are quieter.
