Good thread. We're in the process of buying a 2300BH and discovered on the walk-through that the stove hood doesn't vent to the outside. We cook a lot and I'm not fond of the thought that hot steam will blow back into my face and assorted cooking aromas will settle inside the trailer.
The quote from the dealer to vent the stove hood outside before we purchase is around $450.
We are installing a reversibly 3-speed FantasticFan in the kitchen ceiling, replacing the little fan that's currently in there. The trailer we have now has a Fantastic Fan and it's a 'must have' for us. So, for now we'll not vent the stove to the outside and will see how the ceiling exhaust fan in combination with the existing hood handles cooking odors and grease. We may retrofit at a later date.
I'm glad to see that others have this same concern. I posted about it on another forum and received the suggestion that we were 'nit picky'. Someone clearly doesn't cook
