County permit guy's advice saved my food truck $400

Last month a health inspector told me to skip the fancy vent hood and just get the cheaper portable one since I only fry twice a week. I almost ignored him, but after 3 inspections and zero fines, he was totally right. Anyone else get good tips from inspectors instead of the paid consultants?

Did that portable hood actually pass code for your setup or did the inspector just look the other way? Because where I'm at they won't sign off on anything but a fixed hood if there's any frying at all. Curious if it was the guy being cool or if there's a real rule about low volume cooking.
