Agreed. Down will work too. Here in Texas we build primarily on slabs so the=

You really need to pay attention to the duct. The more transitions & bends, a=
s well as length can really affect the air flow. Keep it as short & direct a=

My vent hood looks like it goes out the roof, but there's another story abov=
e the kitchen.  Instead, it goes into a 3" by 14" duct that gows down throug=
h the stud bay and into the crawl space and outside through a grill on the e=
xterior wall (under the deck, as it happens).

Many ways to route the vent; some of them are more involved than others.  A r=
emote fan sounds interesting.

True for dryer vents and anything that exhausts from the house as well 
as range hoods.

Our dryer vent goes up, 90 degree right, Fantech booster, all the way 
over the garage and my shop and exhausts under the eaves in the side  yard.

Our bathroom vents both have remote Fantech blowers to keep them away 
from skylights.

You should see what I had to do to keep the plumbing vents away from the 
skylights.  There's two big vent 'busses' that collect all the kitchen, 
bath, outside kitchen, utility etc. sink/toilet/etc. vents and run them 
up near the front of the house near the entryway.

I have to think that until now it never occurred to me to figure out 
some way to make flames or at least huge dry ice clouds come out of them 
at Halloween...

John.
