Range hood

Vented or not?? Plan on having a fantastic vent above stove area thanks !!

Definitely vented. Night and day difference when cooking, especially in warm weather.

We still have an open-able window behind our stove no hood. We put a muffin fan behind the stove and open the window about 6 inches. When cooking. No problems.

I use a non vented hood that pushes the air out in front-just stand out of the air stream. Then with the Fantastic Vent directly above, always have good circulation. Did not want a vent on the side of the bus. I like it so much I repeated the design on my truck. Good Luck, TomC

They make non vented with charcoal filter for odor, but you will need a Fantastic fan in ceiling near stove to pull out heat and moisture.

What brand or model # of a non vent? Also charcoal model thanks!!

[chessie4905]

here are some to peruse. Depends on width you need, also there are 12 volt versions if you google rv range hoods.

We have a hood that is vented out the side.  The light on it is useful.  The vent itself is just okay.  If we need more than the minimum venting though, we turn on the Fantastic fan nearby.  I put an insulated pad in the hood vent at times to prevent a lot of heat loss since it is not dampered.

We are going to down draft our cook top area,the cook doesn't want a hood with the induction cooking

Something different about induction cooking that a hood would not be a choice? I have one to install but have not heard anything about this. Personal choice or is there something about the cooktop?

I guess it a woman thing she has owned a Jenn Air in our houses since 1976 and doesn't like hoods she prefers the down draft

One can have downdraft exhaust for any fuel of cooktop.  Induction though, does not produce as much waste heat as gas and regular electric.  We have induction at home and think it's great, but I prefer propane for the bus instead of being dependent on electricity for cooking when it might not be available and the generator would wake the neighborhood.

We have a 24" gas stove that is mounted in the center of the bus, installed over the stove microwave that vents directly above it to the outside. Roof has a hood assembly with a flapper in it that closes when vent fan is not in use. Because the duct to outside is only about 18" it vents very good.

venting might be more about cooking fish, onions/garlic, then exhausting heat, ovens and stoves keep giving off heat, for awhile after done cooking, so I put a window directly over stove, lvmci...
