No vent hood over island range?

Posted by red on December 6, 2005, 6:42 pm

I've seen houses with an island kitchen that has a range built into the
island but I don't see a vent hood over it. Why does a range suddenly not
need a vent if it's in an island?

Don't these things vent from the bottom?

Might have a downdraft vent that disappears when stove not in use.

While I want mine vented, I lived a long time in homes where there was
no vent and survived. However it was hotter in the summer and there was
more grease build up all around.
Many of the ranges designed for a an island (bad place to put on in my
opinion) are designed with as down flow vent.

Yeah, I've never understood that... Why is the stove on an inside
wall, and the sink against a window, instead of the other way around?
