Yea or Nay

[posey's_pork_pit]

Brethren, I need your help please. I'm building a carport for the Shirley that will be used for a Roadtrek when my cooking days are over. The RV is 8'9" so I'm thinking about a 10' high (interior) at the peak gable tin roof. Here's the question; should I install an exhaust for the Shirley?

[dwfisk]

Naw. I have seen some comp trailers that use flex hose, kinda like dryer vent to channel the exhaust out from under the trailer, seems that would work if it is needed at all.

My cookin days are done when the stuff my carcass in the crematoriums furnace. I'd put in a fan.

[Ron_L]

Yeah, a fan mounted in the roof, or a few roof vents might be OK.

[BigBobBQ]

I would add a fan or some type of vent to let the smoke out that rises up there.

[Diesel Dave]

I agree with the fan idea, not a big one, just enough to move the smoke and heat away from the roof metal

I'd put in a chimney or some method to control the smoke. I used to grill in the doorway of an old garage and it filled with smoke and left soot everywhere after a while. You can do a chimney thru the roof or direct it out thru the wall. Stove pipe isn't expensive.

Thank you everyone for the great ideas. :eusa_clap

Personally, I wouldn't want the roof penetration.
If it's a carport with open ends, I'd just leave it if it were me.
If you're worried about smoke staining, then as has been suggested, add a fan or just use some 4" or 6" dryer ducting to extend the stack. If the Shirley is going to be staying put for a while, you may even look into using hard (non-flexible) HVAC sheet metal piping. It will be a little more durable and is still pretty cheap.

Try a powered roof vent or a whirlybird roof vent since the powered ones have been known to start fires.
