[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you sure your kitchen would need it?  We removed a radiator and went several years without any heat source in our kitchen and didn't really miss it.  In our case, the kitchen is the center of the house and cooking put off enough heat that it wasn't an issue.  (We eventually moved to a whole house HVAC system...)[/quote]

OP here again. Good question. It's never seemed to me that the radiator gives off *that* much heat (for one, it is located right next to the fridge), but I am a little gunshy about taking it out without lining something else up. For what it's worth, we also have a baseboard heater in the kitchen, but I never use it because it's one of the old ones that doesn't turn on or off automatically, so I'm pretty sure I would just accidentally leave it on all the time.

By the way, did you remove the radiator yourself? If so, how hard was that? [/quote]

Yes, we removed it ourselves - well, my husband did - but he's handy.  If I recall correctly, he just had to cap the pipes, but it was obnoxiously heavy.[/quote]
