Not where I really want to be
Just had a relative of mine stop me in the grocery store this evening. He wants to start a hot dog joint and was asking me about a fryer. Luckily it is not in my jurisdiction. Anyway he told me one of his friend uses a special fryer setup that does not require a hood. I told him I was not aware of any such animal so I guess I should ask here. I said he needed a Type 1 hood setup if he planned on making fries. What don't I know here?
 
Re: Frying and No Hood

They do make listed ventless kitchen equipment. I would go to the ICC ESR reports or the UL site and browse there.

Dr. J,

Would your example require an ES Report or could

the AHJ determine its viability without one, and

simply require the Type I Hood system?

They need a Type I hood regardless, it is just that there is no ducting required, and they would also need fire suppression of the ventless hood.
 
Re: Frying and No Hood

Ultra-violet (UV) treatment is also being incorporated into new hood design. UV light breaks down grease molecules into smaller harmless compounds of carbon dioxide and water vapor, which are carried out with the exhaust airflow. The UV treatment process does create ozone, which, depending on whom you speak to, may or may not be a problem.

If you inspect one of thes make sure the light is off, do not look at the light, and it will give you a nice tan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Re: Frying and No Hood

All these replies are great and informing, but didn't OP say he wanted to serve hot dogs?

Being already cooked all you hav e to do is heat 'em somehow, right? Like microwaving?

For more entertaining reference re hot dog vending check:

Re: Frying and No Hood

Who says you can't deep fry hot dogs? They deep fry Twinkies, Snickers Bars, etc.
