A cooking appliance includes an oven cavity and a forced air convection system having a convection fan, a heating element and a ventilation system including a duct. The duct includes a first compartment adapted to receive an oven air flow, a second compartment adapted to receive an exhaust air flow, and an air inlet opening into each of the first and second compartments, wherein an incoming air flow is introduced into each of the first and second compartments through operation of a fan assembly. According to one aspect of the invention, the incoming air flow combines with the oven air flow prior to passing over a convective heat element. As such, the combined air flow is heated combusting food byproducts contained therein. In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, the incoming air flow is combined with the exhaust air flow, lowering the temperature of the exhaust prior to release to the surroundings.
