Smoking Room Ventilation
Hey inmates,
We are closing on our house next week and I am looking for recommendations for a reasonable room ventilation for my new smoking room. Room is 12x12 with 8ft ceilings and false ceiling. I was leaning towards a high cfm bathroom fan but wondering if any of you have any better ideas you may have used? |

Re: Smoking Room Ventilation
No direct experience with smoking ventilation, but from a kitchen perspective I have some. If possible, put a high powered fan on the outside of the house. This will greatly reduce noise, and generally leads to more efficient "sucking" for lack of a better term.
I'm assuming this concept would stand with cigar smoke, as it comes from cooking smoke. |

Re: Smoking Room Ventilation
Have used this window fan with great success. Available at Lowe's and home depot. The best part is that it doesn't require any modifications to walls.

Re: Smoking Room Ventilation
My suggestion would be something more on the lines of this - you want all the CFMs you can get - and as quiet as possible:

Re: Smoking Room Ventilation
I use the window fan as well. For those who have seen it; it's a hoot... Maybe they'll respond?

Re: Smoking Room Ventilation
A little more sophisticated is a heat recovery ventilator. This pulls air in as it blows the smoke out. It reduces the energy you lose by blowing heated/cooled air outside. The link below is one example.

Here is a little light reading for you!!!

Re: Smoking Room Ventilation
It's really meant to be built in, like a ceiling fan. Different models are, well, different and you need to check the specs. This one is 120 V, .7 A, so it could probably be added to most household circuits depending on how much load there already is on the circuit breaker.
I would emphasize the advice above that you need a lot of CFMs to control smoke while you are smoking. The best thing is to choose the number of air changes per hour you want and that leads to the CFM. If you just want something that helps a little bit, then a window fan or the like is sufficient. You always want more air flowing no to the outside because this will keep smoke from migrating into the rest of the house. |

The window fan works great, but this looks even better, to help out after the cigars ,or when there's like 4 people smoking cigars and window fan can only do so much. I do close the floor vents when I smoke. It help keep the smoke from circulating around the whole house...
