Can you use Automist on a grease fire?

High-pressure water mist has proven itself highly effective in protecting deep fryers for many years, and is regarded as a very clean way to address the problem. Traditional thinking says that you do not use water to extinguish an oil fire, because bulk water sinks below the oil and boils, ejecting burning oil into the room. The very fine droplets produced by Automist are small enough to be carried by thermal air currents and rather than sinking below the oil, they are drawn into the flame where they suppress the fire.

The fire testing of Automist under UL2167A involved multiple tests using pure canola oil on a natural gas-fueled residential cooktop, during which the system demonstrated its ability to perform effectively even when the gas burner was ignited to increase the oil temperature naturally to the point of autoignition in the skillet.
