    Hi,

    getting in a new kitchen, and the kitchen shop said it was ok to have the cooker vent venting into the garrage. Is this true? Could you see any problems with this? The garage doesn't have any connection with the rest of the house. No inside door or anything.

    thanks,
    J

    I imagine it would depend on how well the garage itself is vented.

    Mine vents into the garage.

    You can smell what's cookin' when you're out there, but so what?

    Mind you, my garage is an old one with a lot of drafts and all that, and we just use it for storing tools, bikes, and crap we should have thrown out, etc. If your garage is cosy, draft proof, (posh, basically) you mightn't want to blow your kitchen fumes into it the whole time.

    Anyway, when I did mine, I was planning that if it didn't work out, I'd just continue the ducting through the garage into the outside world. I haven't bothered, and probably won't.

    I wouldn't, that's my 0.02, as they say...........who wants a smelly garage? Just continue duct to outside.

    Or, take duct above you kitchen units to an oustide wall directly. It's no more work, really.....

    might it attract some investigative furry creatures in?

    That's what i'm worried about. Can't duct it to the outside unfortunately. No access from where I'm planning on putting my cooker. It is an old drafty garrage though. Might look into ducting it through the garrage to the front.

    thanks anyway!

    My other worry would be that the condensation point will vary in the garage from time to time, meaning that if you are blowing in water-laden air, it will condense on tools and fittings and cause rust and such.

    Also a fire hazard?
    From experience the expelled air will be laden with grease which will soak into anything you are storing in the garage...
