In Missouri our gas range has no vent (we replaced an electric with Gas last year). You might check state law. More importantly is to have your house checked for leaks by the gas company. Should be free.

If a person is having an allergic reaction, it is by DEFINITION harmful (to them).

The ventilation above stoves most often found in The Villages is combined with a microwave oven, and that just filters out grease and blows the rest into the room. That’s not good enough for gas, and I don’t think it’s even good enough for electric. I like foods like broccoli, but I hate the smell. The ventilation for a gas stove should go outside, either through the attic or out the side. It should be 600 cubic feet per minute or more for gas. If you have a vent that sucks out 300 cubic feet a minute or more, then you also need a vent with a damper that will let fresh replacement air be sucked into the house from outside. Without that, the fan won’t work properly. These fans aren’t cheap, and installing them isn’t cheap. Get Pike Electric to do it. They do great work. You can also get them to rewire for an electric stove. They are very reasonable. I don’t have a range hood, as I don’t do much cooking except with the microwave oven, so I had a very quiet 190 cubic foot exhaust fan (Panasonic) installed near the stove in the ceiling, and that vents through a 4” hole in the eaves, like the bathroom exhaust fans. It’s on a timer. I also have a 4” vent for make-up air. When I cook something that will smell up the house all day, I turn on that exhaust fan for an hour, and it sucks out the smells. |

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is considering a nationwide ban on NEW gas stoves, which are a source of childhood asthma. 13% is caused by gas stoves. If you switch from gas to electric, you are eligible for up to $840 through the Inflation Reduction Act.

Gas first responder for 36 years. The normal products of combustion if a gas range is properly installed and clean are carbon dioxide and water vapor both of which are harmless. There are oils installed to protect oven flame pans and spreaders during shipping, usually vegetable based oil which will smoke in the first hour or so of operation then it will burn off. There are odors which are also harmless that can be caused from contaminated primary combustion air on which oil-based products can be processed through the flame and it creates an odor that smells like kerosene. Once the oil-based contamination is removed this odor will go away a common source can be plug in air fresheners, paints, solvents, stains, varnishes and water proofing materials but there are endless others. I would imagine TECO checked for gas leaks and carbon monoxide which can only be created by a lack of primary air or impingement of the flame. Finally, and probably most likely are that you either have a sensitivity to the sulfur content in the water vapor or there are some who have an ability to smell normal biproducts of combustion if they have never been exposed to it and have lived in all electric or alternative energy source homes. Couple side opinions Samsung appliances ugh...This country has enough natural gas to fuel the world for hundreds of years and was the clean burning alternative to coal and oil that has made our air some of the cleanest in the world don't fall for agenda-based propaganda from those who have agendas that weaken our leadership in the world. Many Blessings and sorry for your difficulties.

I hope replacement solves the OP's problem. It's interesting the odor was only noticed in convection mode. Maybe related to the confection fan motor insulation outgassing?. Last edited by Altavia; 04-26-2024 at 06:59 AM. |

Yes, lots of master cooks prefer gas stoves. Yes, 87% of children may not be affected negatively. Yes, the US has lots of natural gas. But, we can burn natural gas to produce electricity at a location far away from the homes of the 13% of children adversely affected. And the US has a lot of electricity producing capacity even without nuclear reactors, which are NOW very safe. |
