A gas cooker includes a housing delimiting an upper and a lower compartment divided by a plate and communicating through slits formed in the plate; a hob having a plurality of burners; an oven housed in the lower compartment and having a front opening, a pivoting door selectively closing the lower compartment, and a grill device; a front panel having controls elements connected to the burners and the oven; and an exhaust path for fumes and combustion products of the oven. The gas cooker further includes a folded metal sheet disposed in the upper compartment by the slits and having lateral edges contacting the plate to define a conduit between the slits and the exhaust path, and separate the exhaust path from the rest of the upper compartment which houses the control element, so as to prevent the control elements and the front panel from overheating.
