A portable airflow director, preferably of stainless steel, for ventilating a cook top adjacent to a cooking unit comprises an elongated housing including a base for removable engageable reception with an exhaust intake in the cook top, the base defining an opening in communication with the exhaust intake when the housing is placed on the cook top. A louvered side wall, disposed at an angle of approximately 45 DEG relative to a plane of the base, directs the flow of air from the cooking unit into, then through, the housing and through the exhaust intake of the cook top. The airflow director includes a pair of end walls which lie in parallel spaced apart planes and, in one embodiment, a solid side wall is positioned opposite and angularly disposed with respect to the louvered side wall, the end walls and the solid side wall being impervious to the flow of air. In another embodiment, the airflow director includes opposed louvered side walls extending between the end walls. A baffle plate extends between the end walls intermediate the first and second louvered side walls for simultaneously directing the flow of air from opposed first and second cooking units, respectively, through the first and second louvered side walls into, then through, the housing and through the exhaust intake of the cook top.
