In the winter I have water drops coming down from the vent of my stove. I put insulation all around it but the condensation still persists. Do you have any suggestions?
Answer:
If its vented through the roof, insulate the duct that leads from the attic floor to the roof decking. If it is through the wall, you might want to make a few changes: In the interests of energy conservation, indoor air quality and occupant comfort, kitchen range hood fan ducting should be installed in such a way as to turn the metal ducting downward 90-degrees as it enters the perimeter wall cavity. After 15 to 18 inches, it must turn another 90-degrees to go outside. This ensures that because cold air will not migrate upward, it doesn't get fed back into the kitchen.
