The other thing I would recommend is an external vent hood, though I rather think you've already got that idea. My last place I had a Viking with a outside fan. The motor sat on the roof and as a result was very quiet. So long as you duct directly from the hood to the motor box there is no need for an in-line fire trap. IIRC the max flow was 900 cfm w/ 8" duct, though I rarely used it that high.
I could burn stuff all day long and never know it from the next room.
