omg, is this for real? weird how recent conspiracy rumbling about gvmnt taking away gas stoves may have been covering for a real conspiracy. First I've read about benzene in stove fumes. Like cooking w/gas

It's crazy how builders are even allowed to cheap out by building housing with a stove vent hood that only vents indoors. One of the first things I did on my house when I moved in was replace the vent hood with a higher flow one, add a booster fan inline with the duct work, and replace the flex duct with sheet metal ducting. I can't imagine cooking without it and I don't even cook with gas.
