How about a small woodburning oven in one of those corners? I'm sure you can build one. Easy venting. Best piece of cooking equipment I own. Nothing compares.

I had a Cadco in my old coffee shop. It was amazing. Smaller than a home oven and cooked to perfection in half the time. It resided on its own stand so I can't speak to insulation but you are probably right. You didn't dare brush up against it. Not a bad price either.

"There is 240 there so this is where the electric oven/ovens will be." Plural - ovens. You need two. One small one for baking a loaf of bread, and a normal or larger one to use for larger things. I have two - one gas and one electric - both have their purposes. "Then comes the stupid bar I never use for anything but stacking stuff on. I can never seem to keep the thing cleared off. ![]() Incorporating your kitchen and living room is a very good idea. The open feeling - it gives the whole area a better feeling. I would never go back to having a kitchen as a separate room. A bar is in-between our kitchen and living room. 1/4 of the bar is used for this computer, and the other 3/4 is used for preparing food. Cabinets are under the bar to hold pots and pans, and storage bowls, etc. Like I wrote above - it has been a long day. Time to dig out the other useful thing this bar holds - triple distilled 80 proof relaxation. |

Salt now that I can work in the garage the bar is pretty much cleaned off.
![]() Not having two ovens is horrible. I might and I wanted to is to get rid of the fire place and put the brick oven there. Gonna take some fire brick and stone work but I am up to it. My last bottle of drinking liquor was last Christmas. Worth Last edited by Worth1; May 30, 2016 at 11:34 PM. |

I'm the opposite of Salt when it comes to an "open floor plan" -- I want nothing to do with it.
We have a third bedroom that is being used as a dining room since the original owner didn't need another bedroom and had the builder add a doorway to connect it to the kitchen. When we get around to renovating the kitchen, the wall between them is coming down. My husband kept talking about taking the wall between the kitchen and living room down as well. I flat out refused to even consider it. I'm perfectly fine with eating in a dining area that is part of my kitchen, but feeling like I'm cooking in my living room is where I draw the line! Our house is small enough, and taking it from five rooms down to four is the lowest I'm willing to go. |

Worth, I agree, a brick oven would be much more useful.

The other thing I would recommend is an external vent hood, though I rather think you've already got that idea. My last place I had a Viking with a outside fan. The motor sat on the roof and as a result was very quiet. So long as you duct directly from the hood to the motor box there is no need for an in-line fire trap. IIRC the max flow was 900 cfm w/ 8" duct, though I rarely used it that high.
I could burn stuff all day long and never know it from the next room. |

I don't want an open floor plan either. I want my kitchen all to myself.
