Question about inline exhaust fans: I ran in to a building code problem with my old Chambers stove. All gas stoves installed must have an exhaust hood to remove gas fumes for the cooking burners. I’m building a 1930’s kitchen and having a modern looking exhaust hood it is not what I want. (also the kitchen will have a low height copper painted tin ceiling - not much extra room for hood). There is old style hoods being made but they are way out of my price range. My Chambers 3741 has an exhaust hole located under the shelf above the cooking burners. This exhaust hole goes into the vent from the oven. I’m thinking about placing an inline exhaust fan inside the vent pipe near the wall. This would make it to code but will it work? Has anybody tried anything like this or has a better idea? I am getting ready to start electric wiring the house and I need to come up with a game plan soon.

I think you've got a great idea going Ron. You'd just have to use the right kind of in-line fan. They make them already for kitchen venting. But I wouldn't go with the bathroom exhaust variety. I think the kitchen type stands up to airborne grease better.

Found 6” Aero-Flo Model in line duct fan made for higher temps (metal blades) and only cost $32. I will need to buy a reducer to 4” for the vent connection to stove. Also add variable speed switch to reduce the high CFM down or at least control it as needed.
Anybody have any better ideas?

Let us know how it works out.
