Claim:
A separable smokeless cooker, comprising: a table; and a plurality of boxes assembled together below the table; wherein said plurality of boxes includes an upper box, an intermediate box, and a lower box which are vertically stacked, and a side box which is disposed adjacent to the vertically stacked upper, intermediate, and lower boxes, wherein the side box is taller than it is wide; wherein an inside of each of the upper, intermediate, and lower boxes is arranged as a flow path section, wherein an inside of the side box is arranged as a vertical flow path section, and wherein neighboring flow path sections are connected to each other to form a gas-discharge flow path; wherein, in an upper opening section of an outer box provided in the upper box immediately below the table, an inner box having an open upper portion is formed, and within the inner box, a placement table is provided that is adapted to receive a separate cooking appliance; wherein a suction flow path serving as a flow path section of the upper box is formed between the inner box and the outer box; wherein a suction hole communicating with the suction flow path is formed above a heating surface of the cooking appliance placed on the placement table; wherein a flow path section of the intermediate box, having a first end and a second end, is horizontally elongated, communicates with the suction flow path of the upper box via a first connecting opening located above the first end of the flow path section, and communicates with the flow path section of the lower box via a second connecting opening located below the second end of the flow path section; wherein a flow path section of the lower box, having a first end and a second end, is horizontally elongated, communicates with the flow path section of the intermediate box via the second connecting opening located above the first end of the flow path section, and communicates with the lower end portion of the flow path section of the side box via a third connecting opening located at the second end of the flow path section; wherein a fat/oil filtering section is provided in the flow path section of the intermediate box; wherein a fan is provided at an upstream side of the flow path section of the lower box, and wherein an absorption deodorizing section is provided at a downstream side of the flow path section of the lower box; wherein a HEPA filter is provided in the flow path section of the side box; and wherein an exhaust opening is formed in a side face of the side box, so as to discharge at least a part of exhaust gases to an outside of the smokeless cooker through the exhaust opening, said exhaust gases being cleaned by passing through the fat/oil filtering section, the absorption deodorizing section, and the HEPA filter.
