Is there a ductless exhaust fan for a grill ?

I have a outdoor kitchen and sometimes the smoke gets very bad under the covered patio and in the house. I would like an easy fix.

1. Just get a stand up fan. ductless exhaust fans are common inside but If they do make for outside it will be hundreds of dollars. The fan will also be useful on hot days. They also make fans that spray out a mist of water for even more cooling
2. Move the grill
3. You can try installing a ventless range hood: http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=100080229&N=10000003+10401001
4. Build a shield to block the wind. A fan won't do outdoors, the wind is too unpredictable, but you can block it. The shield should Surround the grill on 2 sides, maybe 3 if it is really bad, and must be open from above to let the smoke out. Or just have an exhaust pipe that goes up high enough.
