Venting stove on kitchen peninsula

[Chris Lawson]

Hi All! 

I'm looking for advice on how to vent (or not to vent) an electric stove on a kitchen peninsula in a class B rental. Ideally we'd like to leave the peninsula completely open with a eat in bar behind the stove.  Our tenants are primarily from the medical school community and don't cook too much.  

The options I see are as follows:

1.  Leave it unvented (okay by code for electric stove) and hope to avoid lingering odors and yellowing of walls

2.  Add a pop up vent behind the stove and hope tenants use it ( In my opinion not likely and pop ups are very expensive)

3. Move the stove off the peninsula as the rest of the kitchen connects to an outside wall. We're on a slab so this could be very costly.

Any other suggestions are welcome!

@Chris Lawson, I personally like having a vent. An old apartment of mine didn't have one and it stunk up the whole place whenever I cooked.

Have you considered a wall-through fan? Saw this on ATOH recently.
