Our kitchens and preparation of food have come a long way from cooking in an open fireplace. We do not have burning logs rolling out of the fireplace onto a floor of some type. The room is not filled with smoke and fumes with no place to exit different times of the day. Our walls may be painted white, or other colors, instead of a sooty black. The flick of a switch now dispels smoke and cooking smells out of the kitchen.
