Steam Extractor

[dgethin]

I am going to have my kitchen revamped, with a fan extractor unit over the stove.
My question is, we use a steamer quite regularly for the veggies. will the recirculation mode with the charcoal filter dispense with the steam or will I need to have it ducted to the outside.
Many Thanks

recirculation hoods are almost entirely useless, and do not remove steam or humidity.

You can hire a core drill from a tool hire shop that will make a neat round hole through the wall.
