Cooking exhaust fan install without hood?
Our kitchen has a microwave over the stove with a fan, but it just blows cooking smoke/smells right back into the kitchen. Just to the left of the microwave is a ~3 in wide vertical chase (behind a cabinet spacer board) between the upper cabinets that leads into the attic. Found the chase because the attic floor planking was has a 10"x3" hole cut out that looks right down onto the kitchen counter next to the stovetop. (This hole doesn't lead to anything else in the unfinished attic, it's in the middle of the floor.) Is there a way to get some kind of fan to install up in the attic to suck the air from this chase and pump it out the roof or maybe a gable vent? Could put it on a remote switch or something. submitted by /u/Qdiggles [link] [comments]
