Hi all, wondering anyone installed a ceiling fan in thd kitchen? Thinking of it but worried if the wind will disrupt the gas stove burner.

Thank you in advance.

PS: I did a search but didn’t find anything relevant, if this has been discussed before appreciate if you could point me in the right direction.

not advisable, u blowing hot air/ oil to the floor, and make a big mess in the kitchen.

Wall fan is ok

so aircond or no ventilation?

You can have exhaust fan
Create negative pressure that draws in cooler air from elsewhere eg living room

advice to just open window when cooking or use hood

if fan it would need to be adjusted so slow so it doesnt affect the fire

cant feel much wind also like that

Ceiling or wall fan will cake up with oily dust, so consider the cleaning aspect as well

Join the induction cooker club then.
Fan not affect flame

Don't do it. I live at my in-law's and it's an old home design. Kitchen is big but when cooking goes on with the fan on, the whole place will smell of oil. Even if water is being boiled over the fire, the whole kitchen gets very warm when fan is on. Exhaust fan reduces the oil/smoke/warm air in the kitchen but not eliminating it.

Fan on without cooking is OK.

Sorry I forgot to add some details, we have ventilations and all, just no air conditioning. It’s not about the cooking.

Just that last weekend we had some big number of guests, my wife spent quite some time in the kitchen cooking but with the current hot weather it wasn’t very comfortable for her (I helped of course).

Thinking for solutions, ceiling fan was one option hence the thread because it’s cheap. Wall fan suggestion is good we’ll think about it.

It’s a big area for air conditioning but that will be our last resort.

Used induction cooker for 10 years, when we moved to this new house we thought of going back old school.

Although some commente here say it’s not just the flame, but can makes a mess of the kitchen and smells. Just need extra care.

i'm using induction and thinking of wall fan as well...

Wall fan should be okay...

not very powerful... just be careful with oily stuff sticking on the blade

Install aircon on kitchen.
Use oven and microwave all the time 😍
