13. A stand-alone filtering apparatus for use during indoor cooking, comprising:
-
a base configured for the reception of a heating assembly, the base including a post which extends upwardly from a rear portion of the base; and
a filter unit positioned in a plane substantially perpendicular to a plane in which the base lies, the filter unit having;
a filtering element for removing contaminants from a medium as the medium passes therethrough;
a ventilation system for creating an air flow for drawing the medium and the contaminants through the filtering element; and
a sleeve which telescopically engages the post of the base for allowing selective vertical positioning of the filter unit relative to the plane of the base. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A foldable filtering apparatus for use with a cooking device, comprising:
-
a base including a support rack having an inner periphery which defines an aperture configured for the reception of the cooking device, the base including a post which extends upwardly from a rear portion of the base; and
a filter unit positioned in a plane substantially parallel to a plane in which the base lies, the filter unit being selectively positionable in a vertical direction from a first position relative to the plane of the base to a second position further from the base, the filter unit including;
a hood having an intake chamber defined therein;
a filtering element for removing contaminants from a medium as the medium passes therethrough, the filtering element configured for selective engagement within the intake chamber;
a ventilation system for creating an air flow for drawing the medium and contaminants through the filtering element; and
a hinge which connects the filter unit with the post for permitting pivotable movement of the filter unit relative to the base.

18. A filtering apparatus for use with a cooking device, comprising:
-
a base including a support rack having an inner periphery which defines an aperture configured for the reception of the cooking device, the base including a post which extends upwardly from the rear portion of the base; and
a filter unit which is selectively positionable in a vertical direction from a first position relative to the base to a second position further from the base, the filter unit and base being in substantially parallel planes in said first and second positions, the filter unit including;
a hood consisting of a ventilation housing, a lower intake expansion and an outer rim for defining an intake chamber therein, which serves to capture contaminants;
a filtering element for removing contaminants from the contaminants as the contaminants pass therethrough, the filtering element configured for selective engagement within the intake chamber;
a ventilation system for creating an air flow for drawing the medium and contaminants through the filtering element; and
a hinge which connects the filter unit with the post extending downwardly from the rear portion of the filter unit for permitting pivotable movement of the filter unit relative to the base.
