Telescope Type Hood System.jpg Is anyone familiar with this telescoping type hood system? The tube is capable of being maneuvered up and down, I believe for a distance of about 18" (perhaps more). Have you approved/disapproved this in your jurisdiction? Justification and code sections for your choice would be well appreciated. Thanks.
 
I have seen designs for these in a Korean Barbecue. It was a long time ago in place far, far away but if I remember correctly they were installing an individual type I system over each table (each table had a cooking surface), which I had a hard time wrapping my head around (I think there were 40+). Fortunately I left there before I had to deal with it. A quick google search of Korean bbq hoods will show lots of results similar to your post.
