Can this fan be used on an outdoor kitchen to remove smoke?

The J&D VES161C is not recommended for use in an outdoor kitchen. This fan is designed as an agricultural-grade exhaust fan for general ventilation in environments like barns and warehouses. It’s not built to handle the grease, smoke, and heat typically found in kitchen settings. For safety and proper performance, it’s best to use a fan specifically rated and approved for kitchen exhaust applications.
