I was watching the range hood suck up the cooking fumes, and was wondering
if installing a range hood over the La-Z-Boy would work to suck the pipe
smoke out of the room.

Anyone do this or think it will work?

Not a bad idea Tony and I kind of went through the same thought
processes a couple of years ago. I concluded that limiting the smoke
filtering to one location, i.e., the La-Z-Boy wouldn't be all that
worthwhile. So, I designed a portable hood fan arrangement that could
go anywhere in the house with me. I wound up mounting the mini unit to
the bill of my baseball cap.

What I used was one of those tiny "personal" fans, a non ducted type
replaceable filter arrangement and, voila! Works at home, on the
street, in restaurants...even tried it in a movie theater, but the
audience objected to the flashes from my lighter.

They'll be marketed at my new web site www.Bill_Fans.coN. (Go

Tony, I never used a hood, but when I was married to my last ex-wife I did
sit in front of a fairly high window with a box-type exhaust fan blowing
outward when I smoked. (Kinda funny, I'd been smoking in the house for 3
years, but she suddenly decided that the smoke bothered her--this was about
a year pre-divorce <g>.) It worked pretty well, but was noisy as hell.

Of course it will work, the la-z-boy, a 65db sucking noise, and your head
cum pipe in the hood should make for many relaxing hours and keep the house
smokefree. Try it and tell!

I think that's a swell idea but only if you put a hot plate next to the
La-Z-Boy, so you can fry the ham and eggs while puffing away.

Tony, it could create a trend in decorator easy-chairs. How about a Tiffany
hood? Or, a leather lined hood!?!

Ken I immediately saw an image of the agents from CONTROL under the cone of
silence, too.

Or maybe you could use one of those 1950s beauty salon hairdryers.

Absolutely, Tony!
In fact, my wife and I are planning to build
a new house in the next year or two and since
I'm really into cooking, I've been planning on
a pro range and remote blower vent hood.
I'm also thinking of building a wine/tobacco cellar
and running a duct from the blower there, in order to
have a small room to listen to the radio, smoke and
drink wine!

Yes it will work. My previous house, the builder was originally
designing the house for himself, and he put a fan in the ceiling of
the breakfast room to remove the cigarette smoke. It had an out-let
to the roof with some little flaps that would open when the fan was
turned on so that the cold air outside wouldn't come in all the time.

There is that one episode where Max and 99 are in England and Max
insists on the cone-of-silence with a Scotland Yard detective. The
detective is smoking a large Calabash which promptly fills the
cone-of-silence with smoke. Rather halarious.
