The PO's of my house installed a range with an integral downdraft vent, unfortunately it just sucks air through the grease filter and then blows it out on the floor. It appears that it would be a minor PITA but not undoable to cut a hole in the floor and vent it to the outside with something like a 4" dryer vent. Would 4" be enough for a range vent? Or is it "acceptable" to leave it just vented to the kitchen?
thanks,
