Abstract: A portable room venting system and method of venting a room is set up in a room and positioned to seal against at least one exhaust in the ceiling and wall to vent smoke and odors. The venting system provides a telescoping frame that extends from the ground to the ceiling. The ribs articulate in relation to the telescopic leg, extending normal from the telescopic leg and retracting parallel with the telescopic leg. An elongate conduit panel fabricated from a resilient panel covers the collapsible frame, expanding and retracting with the ribs. The conduit panel is in sealed communication with at least one exhaust outlet that forms in the ceiling and/or in the sidewall, so as to vent smoke and odors from the room. The conduit panel carries the smoke to exhausts through a passageway, and out through apertures that form on the side and terminus of the conduit panel.
