Stove Hood Exhaust Vent
The fan in the hood above my stove does not exhaust the heat outside. It simply blows the air back to the inside. This makes absolutely no sense to me. I thought the idea of the fan was to exhaust hot air, steam and odors to the outside.
On a hot humid day, cooking much of a meal puts more heat inside the Wildcat than the air conditioner can handle.
So while adding my outside shower, I also added an exhaust vent. Cutting the hole in the wall of the Wildcat was easy. The hood had sheet metal in the back where I wanted to exhaust the air. I used a metal cutting disk on a small 4 inch angle grinder to cut a rectangular hole in this sheet metal which lines up with the hole I cut in the wall of the Wildcat.
Now heat, steam and odors will go to the outside.
