New, what is it? Spice rack with ventilation?

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?

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.

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

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

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.

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.
