Today I was using both the grill and cooker as I...
The customer has asked for a cooker hood with some kind of heat exchange. I'm not entirely sure what he wants, but I'm guessing it's a cooker hood which reuses the hot air, i.e an MVHR. This is the only one I can find though and it's ridiculously expensive Lo-Carbon Sentinel Kinetic Cooker Hood...
