It happens during hot summers days as well.

I don't overboil and this even happens when I bake bread.

Im still hoping on a off grid solution, like a wind-up fan or something.

After a lot of googleing, i've found a portable bathroom fan, is it safe to put over the ranger? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-100mm-6-150 ... 9#shpCntId

I haven't made bread for years, but if I remember rightly there isn't a whole lot of water in it to start with 300ml maybe? If your walls are running wet I'm wondering if it's coming from elsewhere as well as the cooking. How new is the kitchen? It's not damp coming out of the walls?

No idea, maybe look on the manufacturers website.
