A cooking apparatus utilizes a bi-level exhaust venting system for an eye level range for conducting heated air from both a front portion and a rear portion of a subjacent stove unit. A first inlet is provided at a top portion of the cabinet, and a second inlet is provided at a bottom portion of the cabinet for conducting air from the front and rear surface units, respectively. A blower draws the conducted air into the upper cabinet and discharges it through a suitable outlet.
