Venting for Cooktop in Island

13 years ago

Does anyone have suggestions on ways to vent a cooktop that will be located in an island? I decided against downdraft ventilation due to reading way too many negative comments about poor function. There is a bank of windows that would be blocked if I went with a island vent. Are there any other options??? HELP!!

The obvious question is can you put the cooktop somewhere else since you have eliminated the two possibilities? I don't like a cooktop so exposed anyway--can be a hazard and tends to collect clutter while cooking.

There are many range hoods that are specifically designed for use on an island, some provide a focal point while others blend in. To reduce noise, suggest you go with a remote blower. Here are some choices available:

Reconsider downdraft. Just replaced 22 year-old downdraft wit new. The new model is 1/3 of the size under the cabinet, extremely quiet and efficient. Then you have room for beautiful island pendants.
