The exhaust system is one of the most important elements of any commercial kitchen. The purpose of a kitchen exhaust system is to remove hot air and odors as well as safely eliminating vaporized grease, which is a natural byproduct of cooking. Naturally, cooking foods with oil results in more vaporized grease, so if your commercial kitchen fries or sautees frequently, properly maintaining your kitchen’s exhaust system is especially essential. Failing to keep your commercial kitchen exhaust system clean and in good working condition will compromise its ability to do its job properly.
If your commercial kitchen exhaust system isn’t able to pull hot air, odors, and vaporized grease from your kitchen effectively, too much grease will build up in the system. Then you’ll run the risk of dangerous flash fires within your exhaust system ducts. If that happens, the fire department will have to be called, and you’ll have to shut down your business for repairs, resulting is plenty of lost income. Avoid a huge interruption to your business by proactively maintaining your commercial kitchen exhaust system.

Did you hear about the fire that occurred a couple of weeks ago at Porkie’s Restaurant at 130 1st Ave, Silvis. Firefighters responded to a call at 4:41am and it was extinguished at 5am – but not before it caused about $50,000 of damage (yikes!). What’s most important is that no one was injured. Owner/manager Roger Pulford was in the building when the fire erupted. He tried to put the fire out himself but wasn’t able to do so before firefighters arrived at the scene. Reportedly, the fire started in the kitchen and was most likely associated with an exhaust fan. The restaurant is now closed until further notice pending water and smoke cleanup and an insurance company review.
