Alternative to range hood?

I've been watching your question because we don't have a range hood and have wondered the same thing. So far not having one hasn't been a problem for us.

Some stoves use a downdraft vent system that is equal to the range hoods. This will vent through the wall as the hood does, but it is at floor level. This is usually found on built in stoves, just a suggestion.

i do no longer understand approximately your plan yet in my mom's domicile there replaced into an exhaust fan around the kitchen from the range extreme above the cabinets and it may vent the kitchen. It had a overlaying door that matched the wall and a pull stick that would open the door and activate the fan. I used that concept in my cutting-edge lounge. all people right here laughed yet I used a small domicile vent fan and placed it extreme on an exterior wall and use it to pull out each and all the extreme warm air. it is ideas-blowing to pull interior the night air and out with the nice and comfortable air and enables me to apply lots much less a/c. It additionally has adequate oomph to pull out any cooking odors, smoke or different issues rapidly. you relatively do no longer observe it whilst it is not in use. it is recommended to think approximately certainly one of those on your kitchen. could I ever get around to it, I intend to apply that plan in my kitchen too. i've got in no way considered a vent fan for a range that long of run or one that bends yet that would not propose it won't be able to be performed.

I am afraid you are out of luck. Ceiling fans do not work in this application. Range hoods create suction that pulls steam, etc up and through a filter. Using a ceiling fan, even if you reverse it, will make a mess of your beautiful small kitchen........Sorry
