If the vented air goes down, it is an emergency outlet for gas (which is heavier than air and would spill down)
So, what we are talking about here is blocking the escape vent, which means that, if someone knocks the knob on, the gas will fill the kitchen.
Crazy.

I've used layers of terry dish towels to cover my vent for years, but now I think I'll borrow her idea and make a cook top quilt, too. Thank your sister for me, please. And, Merry Christmas to all of you!
