Subject: Re: island range ventilation- downdraft ranges?


Have only dealt with one pop-up style installation, but several times. IMO the pop-ups are more worthless than the jenn-air type. The amount of air moved is less, and the raising and lowering part is troublesome.A ceiling exhaust would help, but the grease and smoke build-up is going to be an issue. It a case of matching the air flow and the placement of the hood/vent. The closer/tighter to the source/stove, the less air needs to be moved. Person with the final say will have to make the choice. More than welcome to stop and look at what my wife is using, 45 minute trip one way??
Is it the look of the hood, or just something hanging over the island? If it's only the look, a more attractive set-up might be a option. Copper hood, hood incorporated into cabinets, hood that doesn't come down as low, or even one that raises and lowers (sort of an inverted pop-up?).
