I'm still really excited by my cast iron... ...but, my apartment doesn't have much ventilation... ..and, as much as I'd like to pretend otherwise, air chronically-laden with a fried fat smell isn't actually enjoyable.
That's the problem. The windows in this building are the dumb safety ones that open only about 3 inches and don't have removable stoppers. And the building is almost hermetically sealed. It was great during the campfire smoke time; now, not so much.
