# Best Pyrography Smoke Extractors and Desktop Fume Fans Source: https://burnandgrain.com/best/best-pyrography-smoke-extractor Publisher: Burn and Grain. Picks are chosen from what each Amazon listing states, not from hands-on tests. Method: https://burnandgrain.com/how-we-pick Wood burning indoors sends a thin line of smoke straight up from the tip, and the face is usually right above it. A pyrography smoke extractor is the same machine sold as a solder fume extractor: a fan that pulls smoke through a filter. Two designs appear here. Bench-top fans stand a few inches behind the work and draw smoke through a carbon pad; hose units pull it into a nozzle and through a HEPA and activated carbon cartridge. What a buyer can compare is the stated airflow, the filter type, how close the unit must sit and how many filters are in the box. Many small fans state only a fan speed or a working distance, and the table says not stated where no airflow figure is given. Place any extractor so it pulls smoke away from the face without blowing across the tip, and keep a window open: an extractor helps ventilation and is not a health guarantee. A dust mask does not filter smoke. Nothing here was tested; every figure comes from the Amazon listings. ## Picks ### 1.
