Minimizing grease accumulation with no hood">Minimizing grease accumulation with no hood
We just went under contract for our “Barbie Dream House” and one of the things that annoys me greatly, but is totally not a deal breaker, is that the current owners remodeled their kitchen in 2018, putting their Wolf range on a kitchen island with no overhead hood. Only have...
