Stove ventilation

11 years ago

Our stove is set into a peninsula where there is no ventilation so it is equipped with downdraft ventilation. In trying to replace it, the least expensive option with downdraft ventilation is over $3000. Can I put in a stove and install a fan in a wall three feet away?

I doubt it, your're not alone I got exactly the same problem. 3k sounds like a lot but I'm not surprised. For what its worth we have a Braun and it really sucks [ its really bad]

Thanks for your comment. I've read that downdraft systems are pretty bad. We an ancient Jennair and the downdraft fan does a reasonably good job but it also sucks heat from the burners and pots, so it creates inefficiencies.
