At my low end house, the range hood vents right into the kitchen. Ugh!

Ours did when we bought it, but we installed an upgrade when we switched from electric to gas stove.
When I got this house I was going to do everything right and I was going to replace the carbon filter in the range hood. I think it was $24 forty years ago. I couldn't believe it and I didn't buy it.
It's on our list of things to do to get it vented through the roof. I considered doing it myself but I'm a unique blend of busy and lazy.
I wonder if there is still a carbon filter in there, or is it just a solitary slab of grease and dirt by now.
I haven't read down-thread, but I installed a SimpliSafe system several years ago. I also had a smoke and CO detector before that. On my system, the worst I'll ever have to do is punch some numbers on a keypad. I'm not worried about the sturdiness of the mount. I used the included drywall screws and didn't worry about finding studs. YMMV
