[quote=Anonymous]In between the ceiling of one floor and the floor of the one above are pieces of wood called joists. The joists are usually spaced every 16 inches, and run the short dimension of the building. You can't cut a hole in a joist to run a duct. If you can run a duct parallel to the joists without having to cross one to an outside wall, you can run it in that space. If you have to cross joists, you have to run the duct below the joists. Sometimes you can use the space above cabinets, or the back of cabinets or the back of a closet. For a decent kitchen exhaust fan you're looking at a duct at least 6" in diameter and possibly 8".
