JennAir JGD3536GB Gas Downdraft Cooktop
Best hood-free gas cooktop for island kitchens needing powerful ventilation.
This is the ultimate solution for island kitchens where a bulky overhead hood would ruin the sightlines. By pulling smoke directly down into the counter, it clears your view completely, though you sacrifice some cabinet storage space below to accommodate the necessary ventilation ducting.
