I am pretty much convinced that I want to vent my stove in our new
kitchen, but we're designing in an over-the-stove microwave and the
cabinet above the microwave does not go all the way to the ceiling. I
have been looking at how a clothes dryer vent works running up in the
wall and was thinking about venting the microwave into and up the wall
behind it and not blasting thru the cabinet above it. And even if I
did extend into the cabinet above it I can't go out of the top of the
cabinet as it doesn't go to the ceiling.

Any hints, experiences or suggestions?????


Many if not all of the over the stove microwaves that I have installed have
the option to vent out the back. The duct size is usually 3" (Or 3.5") x
10". You would need to get the proper elbows and ducts, but this size would
fit in a wall. I use a local HVAC contractor to fabricate my duct fittings.
You could do the same or find a sheet metal fabricator who will make the
fittings that you need.
