I'm tempted to post a pic of DH installing this thing. You know where
the storage drawer is under a normal range? Under there there is this
huge blower system. That hooks to the range on one side then vents
outside. So the air comes from the top of the range in the middle, down
though a vent, into the blower, then outside.
