15 years ago, I with the help of my wife installed a vented range hood.
It was a good investment but it was showing its age so I wanted to replace it. I found one just like it but with a higher CFM It took longer than I expected but we did it in a day. Pics My wife doing seam taping  Attached FileThe finished project in our tiny little kitchen  Attached File |

Funny, I just put in a vented range hood the other day.
Went fairly smooth. A bit nerve wracking cutting a 6" hole in the house though... Now it looks like a stove update is next on your list.

I had to cut through brick veneer. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Whatever you decide on, get the extended warranty. They're not made like your current one anymore. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Yep, we're looking.

Ain't that the truth We've been here 31 years, the range came with the house. No telling how old that thing is. Two burners work, a third does but you need vise grips, and the oven is great. And it has standing pilots so you can cook when the power is out |

If you are shopping, Ventahood makes one of the best on the market.
OP, I see you have a fireplace. A strong power vent will stop the draft on your fireplace and pull smoke into your house. Same with CO from your furnace. Makeup air is a thing.

The previous owner burned construction scraps and burned up the fire brick. It's just decoration now. The furnace is a gas pack and is outside. I keep a window cracked just a bit to allow air inside |
