A forced air external vent still exerts a negative pressure around the stove.
Since the exhaust gasses are hot they'll rise toward the intake and get drawn out.
Commercial kitchens rely on the hoods to exhaust oven gasses. (I worked as a janitor in a banquet hall in HS & college. I can still see that kitchen clearly in my mind. )
Funny story: I came in one morning with the burglar alarm going. I used the payphone in the vestibule to call the cops & shut off the alarm. I went in with the cop to unlock doors. Perps were long gone.
They busted in by peeling the sheet metal away from the cowling on one of the exhaust fans and cam down onto the hood.
These geniuses stepped onto the suspended ceiling and crashed through to the floor. There was blood on the kitchen quarry tile. (Not a trivial amount.)
The door to the bar was locked from the bar side. Could not get it jimmied.
Went into the hall, stood on a banquet table and unscrewed the transom over one set of double doors. Solid walnut. They underestimated the weight and it fell, breaking the table. More blood on the floor.
They get to the bar. Steal tip money but no cash in the register.
They try to remove the smaller transom into the back room, by standing on the fold over. It breaks, and they fall. More blood. Finally get the transom off and it's decorative. There's a concrete wall above the door.
Like Pesci & Stern in Home Alone!
They got away with about a hundred bucks but did $8,000 of damage. In 1975! Probably $25,000 today.
Finally they tried to break into the office by prying the upper part of the Dutch door. Guess where the alarm trip was.
They took an utter beating for $100. Dopes!

If this was done, I'm 98% sure it would only be a ban on putting them in newly-built homes Hugh_Lebowski Jan 2023 #6
