I live in a house and since i've been in here I've always noticed the smell of cooking in the kitchen on the ground floor to be the strongest in one bedroom upstairs. I never gave it much thought until today I thought it's odd and decided to do the sniff test. Sure enough, the smell was coming from the grill that's heating the room.
So I'm thinking the culprit must be the return grill in the kitchen. Not sure if this is standard practice but wondering why there's a return grill in the kitchen! Anyways, I'm thinking of closing it with a cardboard, but I'm not sure if that would cause any damage on the furnace and the HVAC system. The house has other return grills, but of course I know it requires a certain amount for the HVAC system to function properly.
How can I determine if closing this one return grill in the kitchen would be OK or not?
