Downdraft works OK on steam, but it's not good enough for the smoking grill, a boilover will not go down the vent. I've never noticed much of a draft on the flame.
Enzo, if you look that mason jar only catches the grease from the grill.
If I was to stay with downdraft I'd buy a regular cooktop and install a kitchenaid pop-up vent, but they are spendy. Our cooktop is in the island and an hood would be a ugly visual obstruction to our open concept kitchen. That said when I do a remodel I'll most likely ditch the island, cooktop and wall oven for either a basic white stove or a commercial unit.
Unless it's commercial (that looks sexy even when dirty) I think SS is gimmicky and a PITA with kids paw prints.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
