Yep. I have to agree here. Having a good blower works oh so much
better than running around to find a chair to yank down the smoke
alarm so you can disconnect the battery as its screaming in your
ears to wake you about the smoke coming from the spill in the oven.
Or standing there frantically trying to wave away the smoky air
before it gets to the smoke detector...

They do make vent systems that simply pass the air through a filter.
These would not require an external vent, but wouldn't be quite as
good at clearing the air.
