My idea was just a suggestion on the 178. Your 179 is totally different that what I do to help minimize coking smoke.

I've heard that putting a shower cap over the smoke detector works.  I haven't tried it.  You probably need to remember to uncover the smoke detector after cooking though.

We have a small George Foreman grill that's easy to take outside for the smokey stuff. 

If the weather is too bad, we have a shower cap that we cover the smoke alarm with.  That takes care of the alarm noise but not the lingering aroma.  For those times, we have talked about moving the GF grill into the john - but haven't yet. 

And sometimes in bad weather, it's easier to go out and avoid having those grease particles settle into the upholstery.  We figure it's all part of the Pod fun.  Flexibility is the key!

Taking along a vanilla soy-wax candle (the kind in the jars) to burn is one of the best ways to get rid of lingering odors. Unlike the floral scented candles and sprays, my wife can tolerate, and even likes, the vanilla candles. Just be sure to have it on a heat-resistant surface. It is either that or some citrus scented air freshener such as Citrus Magic.

Absolutely no vanilla scent. I hate it. If it smelt like a vanilla shake, yes. Line perfume, no.

The vanilla candles we get are much more vanilla shake. I don't know what Line perfume is. When burning, the vanilla smell is not strong. It just seems to deal with stubborn cooking odors quite effectively.

I agree, we bought a 2014 R-pod with the small slide out. My husband liked it because of the easy towing. I never even noticed no hood and exhaust fan, guess I kind of took for granted if you had a stove top, there would be exhaust. Makes the burners kind of a waste, you can use the microwave but dry camping without electricity...your kind of out of luck for anything fried. Whoever decided that wasn't thinking, be nice to have after market brackets to hook one up

We did turn on shower exhaust, open door and windows, and unplug fire alarm the one time I tried to fry bacon. Never again, wouldn't want the walls to get smoke or grease smell. Very bad design!!!

I bought a small fan to set between the stove and door if we need to cook when the weather is rough. Other than that we have the outside grill. I bought a Smoke Hollow grill that works great. Pricey but good. Gas fired 3 burner. One burner is for smoking wood chip or briquettes. Big enough to cook several steaks or other large cuts of meat. Temp range from 175 - 600.
