I’ve never once been in a property that had an exhaust fan sufficient. I’ve had the exhaust on full blast and the spike on the air quality sensor on another floor of the house is rapid and massive.

I suspect a sufficient ventilation would require something more like a lab fume hood that can pull a negative pressure on the area around the stove.

And from what I have seen, a good number of exhaust fans are straight up fake and just ventilate back in to the room rather than ducted outside.

There's a filter in it you're supposed to change regularly when they're in that configuration.
