Why is the air exchange on the top of stove
59159
This blows the hot air very well from the top. Heat always rises and the exchange flow assists in the circulation of that heat.

There are actually 2 air intakes on the stove. One is located at the front bottom and is preset to allow air into the fire box. The second air inlet is at the top of the stove and is adjustable to provide air into the top of the fire box. The one on the top burns gasses in the smoke and greatly increases the temperature and reduces the emissions from the burn. It works very well and helps keep the chimney pipe relatively clean.

The heating coil is inside. The top is not removable because the heating coil extends upward to speed the heating process.

This was a gift for my sister and she LOVES IT. She has gas burners so I dont have a solid answer for you. My only concearn would be a food or grease build up that wasnt completely cleaned off being between the glass top burner and the pan. I personally have a glass top stove and would be reluctant to use it.

The heating element is exposed. There is a frame that holds the basket above the element. We absolutely love this cooker.

No, but then I don't use it on top of the stove. I pour hot water over tea in infuser. It's a good tea pot.

It's radiant heat. Why do you think you need to pull air from the outside to vent the stove or need a fresh air intake? Your house being airtight only means the stove is more efficeint I'm sure your house is not as airtight as you think. But non the less this stove will work in a drafty house as well as in a air tight home. If your chimney is installed correctly it will draft just fine in a "airtight" home.

Hello Eldonna, I really can't answer that question. My stove has a gas cook top. That might be a better question for Rachel Ray. Good luck!

I have the same problem as the stove top is above this area. I can measure when I get home.

No idea really maybe if you bought that high heat engine paint. I'm not a professional painter the bubbles don't effect the cookin abilities of the stove though just doesn't look nice

The air intake is the house.. no way to provide "fresh air intake" without modifications and parts NOT provided by what you receive, even if doing such modification was done properly, I don't believe it would be worth the effort or expense. The design of this stove dates back over one hundred years - when concepts like airtight home construction was not a consideration. You'd be trying to make this stove do something it was never intended to do; you may consider acquiring a stove that is designed for this - green building advisor dot com could help you on this.

it is painted, so the paint may peel due to the heat from the stove. I would say no.

Right now we are using this stove inside our home as we are updating our home. We have it on top of our stove (that is not hooked up) and put the fan on while in use so the fumes are taken outside.

I have a glass top stove in my house, an induction cook-top(single burner) and a gas stove in my motor-home. I love cooking with them but if it boils over, the hot liquid travels down the handle to the hole. So, I just keep an eye out and put a spoon rest under the hole where I put my stir spoon anyway.

We have an electric glass top stove and it is hotter over the burners then between them.

It's there to let the air, that would otherwise be trapped inside the hollow handle, expand and contract while the bowl is in an oven. If it wasn't there the hot air inside the handle would expand and shatter the bowl while it's being heated.

No. The fan works best when it sits on top of the stove, using the cool air from behind to spin the fan blades.

My guess is that the lip of the griddle would rest on the glass or flat top range causing a convection of heat rather than transferring it directly to the griddle. It also doesn't have handles, which would make it difficult to maneuver on a flat surface. It's really made for a gas range; we use ours on the large center burner of our stove, but you could probably put it over two separate burners. I do not know a definitive answer to your question.
