Comments (9)I'm 6'3", and have the Wolf 36" 4 burner/griddle rangetop and the Wolf 42"x27" hood (900 cfm internal blower). It's recommended that you go with a 42" hood for a 36" range or rangetop so that you have better capture of the heat and smoke/grease. The variables you can play with are the mounting height and the depth of the hood...24" or 27". It's also recommended that you mount the hood around 27" above the range...check the Wolf specs. I also thought I'd be bumping my head and really uncomfortable cooking, so I raised it to 28 1/2". I was concerned about not getting cooking grease all over the house, so I didn't go any higher(open kitchen/great room floor plan.) I also had a soffit beam there that couldn't be removed, so that limited my mounting height to nearly the recommended distance. It works great at that height, and if it was any higher above your head you'd probably not get much effective capture. Measured from the ground, mine is mounted so the bottom of the hood is around 65 1/2" off the floor, about 5 feet 5 1/2 inches. I cook mainly on the two front burners, and use the back burners for simmering, so I can easily reach and see inside the front pots, and still reach the back pots. I definitely have to stoop to get under the hood to look directly down into any pots on the back burners, but honestly, I really don't do that much...I can still see the contents from the front of the stove. Once I got used to the configuration, it became second nature. I agree with the previous poster, and I did the same...mock it up with cardboard and lines drawn on the walls....See MoreFinding an affordable range hood that is 27" deep and 1200cfm
Comments (19)Think of it as a shiny tile backsplash with poor vertical alignment. :) There are some pre-patterned stainless steels that can look fairly pretty. Just keep the angle of tilt-out (from vertical) shallow enough that a rising expanding plume that hits it is still reflected upward. Three inches of tilt over 32 inches (less if the range has its own backspash) is easily sufficiently shallow in angle. Even a less observable short metal piece close to the hood could be built and be 30 degrees or less from vertical. For example, a six-inch piece of metal tilted out 3 inches at the top would be at 30 degrees. Tour http://finishedkitchens.blogspot.com/p/kitchens-alphabetically.html for ideas. In any case, a serious gas range needs some consideration of what the wall behind it is made of, and I'd start with 5/8 firecode sheetrock (or stone or brick) covered by something fire resistant, such as metal or tile. Assume a raging grease fire in your planning, because that is what the range manufacturer did to comply with UL and to specify offset distances to combustibles, and what the hood manufacturer did to comply with the hood filters performing their fire blocking function. kas...See More27 in deep range hood with induction cooktop on 24in lower cabinets
Comments (6)Hood entry apertures should overlap the cooking zone by the size of the pans on the hobs plus the plume expansion, which might be approximated by a ten-degree to vertical angle. With a 42 x 27 hood, it should be large enough to mount as high as 36 inches. Function first! I should add that usually the counter overhang is not the visual issue for most who worry about it here, it is the amount of extension past the cabinets that bound it. Since upper cabinets are typically 12 or 15 inches, a 27 may not be significantly more obtrusive than a 24. Hood shape may affect this. If you must have 24, then Wolf has a Pro Wall Hood that is 42 x 24. (Page 151 of the 2023 Wolf Design Guide.)...See Morekeitel
