Venting a gas stove

Good evening I have this problem. Wife desires an LP gas stove. Considering the location of my existing electric stove, how would I hire an exterior one? On an internal wall is the furnace. There’s a space above me where the vaulted ceiling meets the top of the wall. If needed, those stained glass pieces can be moved or taken out. Does anyone know how to let off some steam outside?

Attach duct that exits the structure and climbs into the ceiling.

+make up air system. To connect it to the hood control, there’s a fan switch, filter box, baffle, additional ducting, and another hole. Fantech produces a well-liked system.

+balance so net pressure in house is basically 0. If not, there is a risk of radon, backdrafting, and/or CO2 exposure.

Avoid venting into the attic at all costs. That is not good.

::I should warn you that the gas stove inside isn’t very good. Perhaps induction if you truly detest electricity… ::opinion over::

Proceed directly upward. The shelf structure could probably be kept, but the duct could be run behind the central shelf and it could be made much shallower. I believe that having an electric range and exterior venting is a must.

Is that a wall outside? With a through-the-wall exterior wall vent, you can cut through the wall rather than the roof.

After installing the desired range vent surrounding the stove, add something akin to the vent above to the wall.

Pass through the roof straight up.

@Eminem So I would have to take down the upper shelf structure and install a hood that would vent directly through the roof in its place?

@Hudson Typically, ductwork is installed inside walls. It would be helpful if you could include more details and pictures of the upper section as well as the other kitchen walls.
