     How do these work?  I don't recall seeing them as a part of the stove itself.  Am I going to have to get a contractor to cut through the wall and install ductwork out the roof?  This the opposite end of the house from the furnace ductwork, so I can't just hook into that.  I have two small cabinets over the stove now, and haven't had any problem with them getting dirty (but then I haven't tried scrubbing them either).  Of course that may be due to the fact that the current stove is electric.  <sigh>  This is more complicated than I thought.
