Do I need my fan on when cooking in the oven?

Title says it all. Do I need to ru my fan while the oven is on like I do with the stove tops?

Since we dry camp most of the time, we don't have ability to run the fan, so I either crack open a window in the kitchen or if the weather is good, I open the door. I do both always, when cooking whether stove top or oven.

We also found that the toaster (or most any kind of cooking), sets off the alarm, but opted to take back the toaster since we could only use it when hooked up, which rarely happens, and running the generator for the toaster is not worth it. Instead we placed a small fan on the shelf near the alarm and run it when cooking.

In our Grand Design Reflection there isn't any exhaust fan of either kind. We do have a small window at the back of the stovetop and a max air fan in the ceiling close to where the stove/oven is but that's it. So I don't think it's necessary to use yours. We did change out our smoke detectors though as the original ones installed were going off constantly. They would even go off when making toast when there was no visible smoke. They were ionization smoke detectors and we switched them out with the photoelectric type and they don't go off from cooking anymore unless we truly have smoke in the RV.

Not unless you burn stuff in oven.

Don't really need to run it using stove top burners
They make more noise then move air....some just vent back into inside area vs venting outside
