Comments (22)I just posted what will be the same advice to another post for hoods. Yosemite makes a pre cast hood that is pretty good looking that is somewhat similar to your picture without the corbels. They do not sell direct. My website will have it listed in a shopping cart for approx $900. A vent to go with it runs about $200 - 400 the larger fan unit costs more. If you click on the link at the end of the written text introducing Yosemite you can see pictures of it. On the 2nd page of hood pictures on Yosemite's site you will see they have extensions for different ceiling heights. Stanisci is a company that makes wood hoods with lots of curves in various heights and widths. They do not sell direct as their business model is to sell unfinished hoods to national sold cabinet companies that do not want to build them on site. Dealer costs when supplied by the cabinet company and finishded to match by them generally are $2,000 - $10,000 which is then marked up from there for profit of the local retailer. A few websites sell them to the public. You will have to finish them to match your cabinets if you go that route. I would think you could get a go painter to put a finish on it onsite that makes it look like cast stone.

Comments (11)I don't know about your structural issues but I researched the range hood aspect of this for my remodel and this is what I found out. Don't get scared by these custom range hood people. You can get a hood insert and have a carpenter make a wooden frame in any shape you want. I have a joist in the way of where my vent should go. My vent will come out of the ceiling to the side of the center of the range hood. It will turn slightly to one side then, come straight down. My range hood cover will be shaped slightly wider at the top, narrow in the midddle, then wide at the bottom. The insert will be supported by a plywood box, made by a carpenter. It will be attached to the ceiling with metal bars that will be attached to the ceiling joists. The beautiful curvy shape of the range hood cover is only ornamental, not structural. The venting can follow any shape it need to within the range hood cover. Others on this site have made thier own range hood and got very creative with them. This might be an opportunity to make your hood distictive....See MoreSchool me up on vent hoods (and makeup air)
Comments (7)Don't assume HVAC pros will be well schooled on this very complex need. The collective knowledge on this forum, led by Kaseki, is greater than most HVAC individuals. I also have a 48" Blue Star and if you are wanting to use it to it's full potential you will need a sophisticated exhaust system with make up air and perhaps forced and conditioned depending on your climate. 1200 cfm should be adequate, but if you use a remote blower you can and should go a bit higher. I think I spent close to $5k on my MUA system, parts and install. I needed it fan forced and heated, I'm in Chicago. Here is what I bought: https://shop.fantech.net/en-US/muas--1200--makeup--air--system/p111242 If I would have listened to my well experienced and great in every other way builder, I would have had no MUA and an ineffective system. If I would have listened to my builder after I insisted on MUA, I would have spent $1500 for an ineffective MUA system that would have also taxed my furnace. My builder wasn't trying to get one over on me, they just didn't know any better and thought my house was leaky enough given its age. This is a very common thought we see on these forums. In the end, I told them forget it. Then I called my long time HVAC guy. He had done this in restaurants but never residential, though was up for learning something. Fantech provided really good support and I was also extremely lucky that this could be installed after the fact w/o having to tear things up. My venting and MUA system work great together and I can wok, sear steaks on cast iron and notice little to no residual grease, odors or smoke....See MoreUser
