Does this smoke, and if so, how much? Have no outside vent in kitchen.

We've used this wok a great deal and never felt the need to run the vent fan.

No, this wok doesn't smoke, but be sure you're using peanut oil or the equivalent. The wok needs to get very hot sometimes (depending on the recipe you're using) and corn oil or butter literally can't stand the heat, and will definitely smoke, I'm sure.

It's never been a problem for us, we absolutely love this. We're in a small duplex and it's great!

I use mine about two or three times a month for the last six months. It has never smoked although it does get hot. Generally I do use some type of oil like sesame oil, with the meat and vegetables I am cooking. I hope this helps.

It could produce a lot of smoke if allowed to really heat up, but as a cook I heat to the point of light smoke then add the food, so using it inside without a vent isn't an issue.

The BEW600XL Hot Wok™ is not designed to be heated until the oil smokes. As such, unless food is burned there should be no smoke coming from the wok.

Mary, as long as there is lots of ventilation , we have ours in the garage , there is a certain amount of smoke that's comes out the vent on top, adjust the vent to hold in the smoke and enjoy .. I would have to say Yes ,, as always just be safe ..

My only suggestion would be to close the vents more to keep the heat in. Make sure you do not open the smoker either. Was it in a breeze? These are the only things I can suggest. Link to youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3Z_TUmUZb8&list=PLac9Z7pi1Oitbb6OQGvAR6kCpJ3vzXq3E

it will smoke through the vent...which is the stuff and moisture you are burning off which comes out of the ac system

I have a small concede covered front porch and use the smoker on it so that it's out of the weather. It does emit some smoke from the top vent but not very much. It's better that any grill smoke when I grill.

Ours is vented outside, but it can be used as a ductless range hood if you prefer.

Diana, Rich says it smokes like an electric stove. He cooks on ours outside in his shop building. Would need to be under an exhaust hood in the kitchen. Hope that info helps.

I have had no issues with temp control. I have been able to go as low as 190-195 and up to 300. You can control (reduce) the air flow by closing the vents but you will decrease the amount of smoke you produce.

We do not allow smoking in the house, therefore we have not tested it against this capability. I can check the instruction manual tonight but my recollection is that it will not. I hope that helped.

Ours has never produced smoke, but of course with us sitting right next to it and monitoring the cooking, I would assume that if something would burn on it, it would produce smoke. We normally use ours outside, but have used it indoors with no concerns.

Thanks everyone for you comments. I have a carbon monoxide detector right out from my stove. We have also installed a fan over top of the unit. I guess it can't burn the fumes fast enough like gordyh was talking. If it gets worse will have a teck check it out. Again I would like to thank you all. Didn't think I would get a reply.

We are very happy with the quiet and the dust removal.. AND I can't help with your specific question, we don't smoke and have not had cooking or other smoke.

Yes, the exhaust can be vented to the outside of the house. I do not know how many CFM.

Yes, in my experience so far it's smokeless. I use the lid and haven't needed to use the kitchen vent fan.

No it does not have to be vented to the outside via a vent. Exhaust works fine within it's self.

The Smoke is from the inside residue. Once it burns off it will no longer smoke. Place in a garage or out doors for about a hour to burn off and you shouldn't have that problem anymore....

There's really no good way to use it without some ventilation. I have started a coal outside...let it burn way, way down and then brought it in....very carefully as it gets hot =)
