I currently have an over-the-range microwave with the built in "range hood"
that just basically sucks the smoke up and blows it back out over your head.
Very noisy and relatively useless, IMHO. I have an old unused chimney
right behind the stove that would be very convenient to run a duct to. Is
there an OTR Microwave with a ducted hood out there? Or another way to put
some kind of "low profile" ducted hood under a regular OTR microwave?

Thanks.

Hi,

Normally shouldn't vent into a chimney. Most OTR microwaves can be
recirculated ( like yours is now ), vented up or vented out the back.

This may help...shows turning the blower to different directions for
the venting options.
