Question about gas stove ventilation for 20x30 cabin

[jesse977]

 I really like the 20x30 cabin plans on this site. I have a question. Are there any ventilation issues with the gas stove being under the loft? Here are a few examples of what I mean.


here are the plans Im talking about




Here are two 20x30 cabin kitchens from this site. Any issues with the stoves not having ventilation? If there is a issue will placing the stove near a window help?

Big question is--are you running a vent?  Seems running a vent to the outside up that wall wouldn't be difficult at all

Looking at 2006 IRC I see freestanding range requirements are:

-- Venting is optional except for open broilers.
-- Range needs minimum 30" clearance to combustibles overhead, or 24" w/ millboard & metal, or metal hood.
-- Side and rear clearance per manufacturer, or if unlisted, 6" to combustibles.
-- If a range hood is installed, it must terminate outside, min 3', except for a ductless range hood.
-- The duct needs to be screened with 1/4 - 1/3" mesh, and needs a damper.
-- Needs to move 100CFM of air minimum, and have a smooth surface interior. 
-- Metal required, but PVC seems ok of vent is downward under slab.

Please anyone point out anything incorrect here. 

I really don't see any mention of if a duct could be routed sideways 90 degress and out the wall. That would seem safest if you choose to install a range hood, and straight up is not an option.

I'd want a carbon monoxide detector/ alarm above too!

We have a gas range in our 15.75 x 30 ft one floor cabin. Never had any CO alarms go off. We have 2.

In the old days, people would heat an RV with the range.  I am not saying this is a good thing to do but using it as an example of ventilation in a cabin that is probably not needed.  If you are baking in your home in winter you want the heat inside. If you are cooking onions and garlic you might want the gases outside the building. You should have selectable range ventilation for the right reason or because the inspector wants to see it.

Yes you can run a 90......

My propane stove is under the loft and I have no trouble with it.
