I have a stovetop over my workbench and blow everything outside and besides I can open up the garage door to ventilated more also I have a big fan blowing does stink out of the room I try to use everything I can do keep it well ventilated I believe this stove will lead if you can make a whole going outside is the best tried to get the more powerful ones to suck fumes and smoke out does not hurt at all to have all the ventilation that you can get.
