re: Anyone ever add a range cook top vent?

Venting through the joist might not work very well. It’ll probably be a long run, lots of 90s and a small 4-5” pipe. That’ll choke down any flow. Ideally you run an 8-10” duct.
Is the island directly under the middle or edge of the bonus room? If near the edge, you can maybe run a chase along the wall or something to vent through the roof or exterior wall.
This setup is less than ideal unless there’s a vent in the slab that can enable at least a pop up. Go look at the exterior wall and see if anything exists.

ETA it helped that we had our ceiling open at the time so it was easy to find an optimal path.

Y’all don’t cook anyway, what’s the point?

So I did my final walkthrough tonight and I think there’s a vent in the cabinet below that comes out under the floor and vents outside.
Can’t believe they didn’t add a cook top and pop up vent.
So I guess the best option would be to add a pop up and vent out the bottom through the existing hole?
Looks like a GE Cafe that costs around $1900. Can I add separate popup or do they make something that is all one unit?

Likely so. Mine had a downdraft vent and I used the vent pipe to run my flexible gas line. I only had an electric cooktop in my island when I moved in so we definitely wanted to switch to gas. But if the downdraft was my only option to vent I would have done it.
As an aside, if you are not using that 240V outlet you can remove it and use the breaker in your panel for something else. I only needed 120V at the outlet after going to gas for the igniter and backlighting. Ended up using the old 2-pole breaker for a whole-home surge protector. Just something to think about...

I’ve got an electrician here tomorrow installing my Tesla charger and hanging TV’s. I’ve also got him adding smart switches and updating the can lights in the kitchen, master bath and master bed. Going to ask him about the surge protector. I plan on doing a whole home generator before next storm season.
Going to have a lot of fun projects over the next several years.

If hes already there doing a bunch of work for you it’s likely not that much more money to add it. I have an Eaton one and it uses a 2-pole 50A breaker and stays inside the panel. Very simple and good to know my electronics are protected.
