As side note on air purifiers. You have to get them for the size of the room to get proper results. Ie something thats too small for the space is about useless. They have rating, look for that.

You're right, they do have a rating.

I have empty space right by the stove, figure I can run it when the ovens on. We have a large one in another part of the house already, too big for the counter.
