DISPOSABLE HOOD BAFFLE FOR COMMERCIAL KITCHEN
An apparatus is provided for collecting grease from a cooking device, such as an oven. The apparatus may include a baffle or device comprising a first set of a plurality of rails oriented in a first direction and a second set of a plurality of rails oriented in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction. The baffle may be made of lightweight aluminum. Each of the first set of a plurality of rails overlaps one of each of the second set of a plurality of rails. Each of the rails of the first set and the second set of a plurality of rails may be connected to a housing. The apparatus may further include an attachment device for attaching the baffle to a hood device, so that smoke sucked in by a fan in the hood device can pass through the baffle and into the hood device while the baffle remains stationary.
