Default Ventilation System

I was wondering if there are any professionals that will come into your home and set up a ventilation system for you. I live in Delaware and have my studio in my basement. ..finished basement, plenty of windows.

I have a vent hood that has duct work going out the side of the house. I don't believe the handyman who installed it all knew exactly what he was doing because the whole house stinks of propane after a couple of hours of lampworking. I can't put the fan on high on the hood cause it blows my flame all over the place. It doesn't seem to be sucking the propane out the duct.

I would love to get a professioal person who knows what their doing to re-evaluate my set-up.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

What else is in the basement? Gas hot water heater/ furnace?

You shouldn't smell PROPANE! torch or not! Do you have a leak? and your flame shouldn't be dancing around with the fan on high

can you post pics or get a little more descriptive of your set up?
