Now that the stove is operational, I also wanted to be able to vent the cooking smells to outside. I went for a DIY approach, as I think the Vent hoods that are available, are either to pricey, to ugly or both. So from wood I had left over, a ventilator, two aluminum filters, a roll of aluminum tape, and some wiring, I made this little vent hood:
It has a built in LED light, and from the back, a fan blows air outside the home, through the technical room. It’s not a huge suck zone, but it does fan out air pretty well. It switches on when the light is switched on. As the fan is on the other side of the log wall, it’s not as noisy as some vent hoods, that make it hard to have a normal conversation with anyone when it’s sucking.
WoW, Boudewijn. You did a lot of work again. Looks good. Enjoy the Finishing work. Yes I think you really deserve that cool beer🍺
That’s a lot of sucking power 🤣! Well done. Don’t forget to clean the door of your oven. And enjoy the cold beer after all the hard work.
Yeah, the door is filthy. I tried cleaning it, even checked if it wasn’t behind the first layer of glass, but it’s not. Soap to do the dishes cannot take it off; will get some more powerful cleaning stuff tomorrow.
