Can the hood vents be plugged?

Bob, was wondering if there's anything bad that could happen with covering over the side vents on the hood? Was thinking if there's no way for the smoke to escape in the hood, the smoke may linger for a longer period of time in there and I figure more smoke would be channeled through the cold smoker also?
Do you think it would it interfere with the heat rising into the hood area?

No you can not plug off any exhaust vents! There is a perfect amount of air intake to exhaust that must be maintained or you will choke the fire causing soot and other bad issues. Thanks for asking before trying it :)
I have had quite a few customers ask if they can block off the exhaust to the warmer box and the answer is again NO, all vents must be maintained and clean :)
