Anyone ever add a range cook top vent?

Man that’s the problem. Not sure if I can do it sure on options.









It’s in the island and it’s a drop in stove top. I’ve seen the pop up ones and I’ve seen some that hang by wires.

I’ve got a bonus room above that so not sure how hard it would be to do that. I guess I could go non vented.



Something like this.


Or I could add a pop up like this. It may require cutting that counter top to fit a bigger cook top with the vent or maybe there’s and option to add the pop up vent to the current cook top but I would need to still cut the counter.

There’s not one

I filled in an old skylight above my cooktop and added a vent hood. It came with a paper template to cut the holes and line up.

If you have a room above it may be harder to vent. Mine went straight to the gable to vent out.

They did but I think there was one but they did redo the kitchen recently.

For those island stoves you pretty much need an industrial sized blower to actually pull enough air for the vent to work.

I think mine is rated around 500cfm but some of the cheaper ones had much lower ratings. I don’t think they would have done enough to actually vent.

Don’t know the code in your area but there’s normally a requirement to have a vent of some sort. The fact that you don’t have one says the renovation might have been illegal/unpermitted.

May not be a huge project if you know which way the joists are running. You should be able to run the vent duct to the exterior wall in the space between ceiling and second floor.

We just did this and put the vent flap on the exterior wall and the venting ran alongside the joists.

I meant to say I don’t think there was a vent but they did remodel the kitchen. Think the coop top was always in the island.
