A: Venting a stove in an island
There are definitely a lot of difficulties associated with venting an island here are some options
1- use a high efficiency hood with charcoal filters -- for most cooking needs this is sufficient
2- if this is not enough, use this combined with a vent fan on an outside wall.
3- Go to church and pray that your joists run towards the direction of the outside wall
4- rum the vent along the ceiling and box it in
I would shy away from down draft venting-- it dosen't tend to be as efficient as upward vents
