No Angie - no hood. This couple does all of their smoky smelly cooking on the large outdoor grill - summer and winter, or in the convection oven. This is an induction cooktop which produces almost zero wasted heat by its very nature, with very little moisture and no grease produced from their culinary chores. this is also a netzero home and very tight with little uncontrolled air movement. Thus this is the one time you can get away without venting - which they opted to do!
