. Thanks, but that isn't the issue in question. "Appliance stores" certainly won't do major work to duct through walls, ceilings, attic & roof with a vent. I have installed range hoods on existing duct work. That's a simple job.

Purchased the hood through Aggressive Appliance, they installed the pipe into the attic, then needed to get Munns to take the pipe through the attic and to the roof, then Quality First Roofing took it through the roof and attached the roof vent. That was to insure it was installed according to code and who was licensed to do what part of the install. We elected to do it by the code, expensive and a pain to coordinate but we made the decision to do it that way and avoid the risk.

After reading all the dept of health ratings of so many restaurants around here that also makes going out less "appetizing." Download the "LIFE KITCHEN" app (IOS and Android). It takes all the health dept RESTAURANT ratings across FL (GOOD AND BAD) and puts it into one app with all the gross and disgusting details.

I rarely eat out.

No one knows what’s goes on behind closed doors! And if you did you wouldn’t be eating there!

We had an appliance store put in a range hood with a pipe going into the attic then exiting the roof. You never would want to have grease and exhaust gases exiting into the attic, I would think you would get mold and critters in the attic.

In my son's house, the vented to the soffit. works just fine.

Get your wife to microwave veg.
Tastes better, cooks quicker, and hardly any smell.
Problem solved!

[La lamy]

If you can't get the smells to air out of your kitchen at a decent price, maybe your wife could get used to doing them outside on a grill. Delicious!

Suggestions for who does this kind of work and recent cost? Not looking for a kitchen remodel just a ducted hood over the stove. I am assuming it can be ducted straight up to and through the roof assuming there is no roof supports in the way or any building code against that. No access to outside wall just UP. It's the "usual" stove with above stove mounted microwave configuration.

I have the same problem, sensitivity to certain foods cooking. Beef, toast, eggs with pepper, sesame oil, the list goes on and on. My other half has a hard time cooking as sometimes the smells cause me to have head aches or I can't breathe.

The no outside exhaust is a problem. I use an ion air filter to radicate them and open doors. It's a pain in the arse sometimes and I feel bad for my spouse.

We bought a moveable induction cooktop to cook on the porch or in the garage. I wish they did put stove top vents up thru the attic like bathroom vents when building these houses. That would be a dream come true.

See post #17. It is what we did. I said you may need to coordinate with a roofer and an HVAC company. We used Agressive Appliances and we also used Quality First Roofers. We used a different HVAC company I can't remember but may have been Sunshine. It was pretty costly I can't remember but maybe $2,000. Call the roofers and Munns. See what they say before purchasing a hood from anywhere. Maybe they can vent your microwave to the outside but a hood would be stronger.

There is another solution I thought of: Febreeze is a fantastic product and works wonders on odors. It actually cancels them out scientifically fascinating how it works!

Name of the appliance store you used that put the pipe through the attic and roof please? The OP wants that info and says appliance stores don't do that.

Here’s an off the wall suggestion….

New wife
OR
New house

The latter will probably be less expensive ! LOL !!

[Justputt]

We did this in our old house. If your microwave is built into cabinets such as pictured above (cabinets don't go to the ceil), they'll just box in the area between the cabinet top and ceiling, run a vent pipe through the cabinet above the microwave (so you lose that space) and into the attic space and put a damper roof vent to carry it away. We had this mounted on the roof and connected to the vent pipe that went through the upper cabinet, boxed space above it. and through the roof. Lowes link works, not sure why it says this Access Denied

Definitely.
Or.
Liquidize all the veg, and drink it.
No cooking at all.
