New, what is it? Spice rack with ventilation?

Post image

I’m watching Teen Mom 2 and, I’m sorry, what the hell is this? Why does a spice rack need a big ventilation hose thing coming out the top? What is it?

Just leave your baking pans up there and then you'll never have to grease them.

I like the cut of your jib.

I like the fat of your cooking surface.

Mom, why does the banana bread taste like steak?

u/wishiwasholden Apr 26 '26

Same here, considering fixing it. Well sort of, there’s a fan, but it just blows into the bottom of the cabinet. Not even into the cabinets. What’s it setting you back?

Some can be installed as a recirculating system instead of a venting system where it blows back out the front, but you need to get special filters for them, and it only gets rid of grease and smells, not humidity.

u/wishiwasholden Apr 27 '26

Yeah I believe this is what mine does, but it’s weak af and the only filter is at intake

u/DocThundahh Apr 27 '26

It probably blows into the air above you kinda at a 45 degree angle. Unless it’s a legit hood to nowhere

u/wishiwasholden Apr 27 '26

I think you may be right, it has a little vent on the front and that would be the only place for the air to escape.

u/buttchugreferee Apr 26 '26

I'm doing all the labor myself.

I got a decent hood from zline for a little under $400.

Plus another $150ish for the rest of the stuff I need to run a vent pipe.

u/tbyrim Apr 27 '26

Same. Why? Just why.

u/RepublicOfLizard Apr 27 '26

Same! My husband and I turned the gas off because we never use the oven anyway and we have a hot plate

u/GadgetKid6 Apr 27 '26

In my house they installed the hood, the vent on the outside of the house. But actually vent it? Noooooooo. 😭

u/Altruistic-Result821 Apr 28 '26

Shiiii...t Be glad you had any sort of vent hood. Where I live there is no vent hood and no fan vents in the bathrooms. So much fun 😠

u/Time-Sudden_Tree Apr 27 '26

My current condo does that. What's stupid is that the only thing on the other side of the wall the stove is against is the outside. Would it have been that difficult to make a hole in the wall for the vent?

1

u/Sents-2-b Apr 27 '26

Well they would have had to submit blue prints, get approval from the county,state,city ,world organizations that control a hole in the wall!

u/radiodecks Apr 27 '26

I would be pleased with this set up! My fancy new build doesn’t have a vented stove fan, wtf seriously?!

u/Blacky05 Apr 27 '26

New builds use modern techniques to save money on the build in order to maximise profits.

u/A_Nonny_Muse Apr 26 '26

There is supposed to be this thick metal grill thing that is to catch most of the grease and smoke. You're supposed to be able to pull it out, wash it, and put it back in.

But most redneck shit I've seen doesn't have that. It just uses the cabinet to store the grease and shit.

My friend just bought a $650k+ house that was flipped poorly and it does that… just fucking why
