Not sure what you're cookin' up in your Westy that is so smoky and greasy that it requires the excessive ventilation and splatter-zone offered by the al fresco food-preparation experience, but I'd be less worried about your Westy interior than that of your cardiovascular system. Aside from the very occasional indulgence in a slice of Spam fried up alongside our omelettes, all our other Westy cooking consists of boiling rice or noodles, or heating soup, which, besides being more healthful, also leave no residual odors of food. I dunno. Were I to choose the method of my own death, and given a choice between a brutal and bloody mauling by a bear in my van who has mistaken me for a large breakfast sausage, or the long and torturous bed-ridden decline of multiple cardiac arrests and strokes caused by my cholesterol-clogged arteries, I think I'd opt instead for the mauling, please. There's just something stoic and noble about going down swinging and screaming, in a flurry of blood and fur, an active participant on the great circle of life ... Besides, I'd get to spend my final moments on this earth in my beloved Westy! Jeffrey Earl 1983 diesel Westfalia "Vanasazi" http://www.vanthology.com/
