Hi,
I live in a high-rise building, and my only personal outdoor space is a balcony about 12x12x12. this balcony is open to the air on one side, has a concrete wall on another, and the 3rd and 4th sides are plexi with sliding glass doors.
Depending on the wind, with the doors open, often a strong current will run to/from the balcony and my kitchen (maybe 30 ft distant. with them closed, often the breeze is weak. I would personally prefer to keep all extra gases from burning out of the house, but don't see how to keep from potentially turning the balcony into a gas trap.
Given the closed nature of the space, any generic suggestions on ventilation? I can take and upload pics if this would be of help, any suggestions on which hosting site to use? I am reading other threads about people using electric with insulation on kettles, etc. what min. rated energy output of electric would I look for?
thanks
edit - alternately are there electric stoves for kitchen use that will boil 6-7 gallons of water effectively? If so, what information on a given stove should I be looking for? I have read about members using electric with insulation on their kettles with good results in some cases, but not sure if there is a floor on the rated output of the stove that is needed to do this. Looking at it more closely, I am finding this preferable to fighting ventilation issues if it is indeed feasible.
