    Is there a way to insulate an oven vent fan cover? Or, are there insulated vents?
    My kitchen is about 66 degrees, but the rest of my house is 73 because cold air is coming through my oven vent. I live in the midwest, and my vent faces northwest, so there is normally a cold wind blowing on the vent. I placed plastic over the vent and that helped eliminate the draft, but it is still very cold around the oven. Are there vents I can install that are insulated? Otherwise, I will have to remove the vent, add insulation, and reconstruct the wall.
