I have lived here without a range hood exhaust vent for 7+ years.
Had a Panasonic ceiling vent installed about 3 weeks ago. Community improvement project.
It's no at all hefty (110 cfm) but it's better than nothing—the damn thing is so quite it's very easy to forget it's running. 
So we still have limitations.
I may fashion a high velocity fan that can be popped in and out of the window opening as needed.
Something I should have done YEARS ago!
