Where do you vent to? Outside of the room, or outside of the building? The winters get very cold here, and I'm not sure that I want to vent to outside

I grow in a grow tent that is located in my basement and vent outside the tent but inside my basement. No need to vent to the outside at all-venting outside your grow room/tent will be just fine. This unit will control any odor without worry. Hope this helps!

You have to have the exhaust hose vented out a window. Otherwise you are defeating the purpose of cool air and the hot exhaust.

This unit is designed to be vented outside. Hopefully you already have the duct connections to an exterior hooded vent. I've seen it vented to recirculate in an attic space, but that's definitely not recommended and isn't code-compliant in most jurisdictions. I have 2 of these in my own home and just put 3 in my parent's home. Love it!

I live in Southern California I haven't used the heater in months. But when it does get cold enough to use it I might have to adjust the heater setting to blow air out of the floor/window vents.

Depends on where you're venting to. I have mine through the kitchen wall venting into the garage. I don't use a sleeve because it's not exposed to weather. Otherwise, if I vented to outside, then yes, I'd use a sleeve. If you didn't want to use it and are still venting to outside, then I'd at least put a winter season cover (with elastic straps) around it so as to not let cold air get into house and, of course, keep warm air from escaping.

I'm not expert on venting, but I wouldn't think so. There's a trickle of smoke that comes out at all times, but when you open the door to get your meat out, there's quite a blast (which I love, btw). :-)

I have mine in an upstairs bedroom that is about 12 by 20 ft. with sloped ceilings since it's right under the roof.Since there is foam insulation in the roof, it works well all winter and most of the summer. It can't quite keep up when the outside temp is over 95 degrees. To help it out, I have it taking in room air and exhausting the waste air outside through a vent pipe. That way, it doesn't have to deal with extreme temperature differentials.

You can vent to the outside, similar to a portable ac. I do not use the hose attachments. The filter on the back does the job and well. If I had a crawl space, I would use the hose to vent it. The cartridges are expensive but so worth it.

Move the smoker to the downwind side of the house. I found a place behind my house where the wind doesn't affect it.

Its up to you. They provide the option to vent externally, out the back, or internally through a filter.

Charles, it can be vented out the back. The vent rotates so it can be vented out of the top or the back. The vent is located in the center of the top/back corner. We vented ours out of the top because we had a stud in the wall that prevented venting out the back without ripping a portion of the wall out and rebuilding the support studs. ): So through the cupboard, ceiling and roof we went. You may want to take some measurements and check your wall for studs before committing to venting out of the wall. Good luck.

We were told by people with no ax to grind that the blowers are problematic; that the best heat-distribution is ceiling fans reversed for winter. We already had the ceiling fans, so that's what we're doing. You can also get those neat little ~4" fans to put in the corner of doorways.

yes, it needs to be vented somewhere. You could purchase an awesome high-powered fan and it would cool as well and not need vented.

The Ge installation instructions do require venting of this unit. The preferred option is via a damper to the outside but it can also be vented thru a window. Please call Goedekers at 888-768-1710 if you have any other questions and we will be happy to help Melanie with Goedekers
