wall oven and range hoods/first post

13 years ago

I just retired and hopefully this will be my last kitchen remodel. I have been lurking for months gobbling up all the excellent information.I started out wanting a Bluestar cooktop but then got torn about the Culinarian open burner cooktop that was coming out. While in that process ended up on the induction site and am now pretty much settled on the Gaggenau 36" with the disk. Any comments on framed vs frameless would be welcome. As far a single wall ovens go,I was fixed on the Monogram Model#: ZET938SMSS and love their rolling racks that can supposedly stay in for cleaning. Hmmmmm. Got interested in the Culinarian Maestro wall oven and found a place not too far away to go see it. Not true steam but has something called moist assist. The specs look really good re power and I called to check if it had rolling racks and it does. So the Monogram or the Culinarian? I will only have one oven. Also, now that I do not need the kind of fan power required of a Bluestar, I am narrowed down to Elica Pilato 36" and Zephyr Palermo. I figured out that Zephyr is part of Broan but cannot seem to find out the parent company of Elica, if any. Also cannot find the sones on the Elica. The Zephyr is 6 so not that quiet I am thinking. I want a rounded look and quiet because I always run my fan. I have been cooking with the same Dacor stuff that came with the house when it was new 18 years ago so don't know why I am so picky all of a sudden but trying to do it so I will like it.

Location of wall ovens and range hood
Q

That's why I often suggest a range (w/oven) under the hood and second wall oven, if needed, elsewhere that's primarily used for things like baking where you wouldn't mind any odors coming from it. Who hates the smell of spice cake baking? (And hopefully you don't burn the brownies!) I happen to have a two-oven range and one of my ovens is my roasting and broiling oven. I can't imainge not having it - and its exhaust products - located where they will be drawn right up, and out, through the hood. A wall oven adjacent, but not under, the range hood will not be effectively vented by it because of how steam and hot air expands in an upward cone. It has to start out under the hood to get captured.. Apparently many people don't use use their ovens like I do. My roasting oven works, hard! And I really don't want to smell last night's broiled fish or roasted garlic - as tasty as they were - the next day. I also think a range and a single wall oven would be quite a bit cheaper than a cooktop and two separate wall ovens. If your range is gas (with a gas oven), you could still have an electric wall oven, which would give you two different fuel source types to play a round with. Araguato

We have the 36 inch gas wolf cook top and got the Best 36 inch range that Wolf will ensure is of the same stainless as their other appliances. We got 1200 CFM, so when you turn it on high (loud) but does make sure it all gets sucked up appropriately. I would go any bigger, providing you have enough CFM (and you definitely dont need 1200 CFM. I got sucked into the more is better thought process!).

Help me decide gas range/steam oven VS range top/wall ovens

I recommend that you post your question on the appliance forum. You will get more responses. I would get the Wolf gas range, convection wall oven with the steam oven above it. This way you have the gas range oven for a large turkey, the convection and steam oven for other items, I have a Wolf range and I love it!!!!

Upgrade under cabinet range hood to wall-mounted range hood
Q
Comments (15)
Hello Houzz Community! I found this thread when Googling a similar topic. I'd like to replace my under cabinet hood with a wall mounted hood, and yes I know I have to remove the cabinet above the current hood which I'm fine with (see photo). My existing under cabinet hood vents out the wall to the side of my house - see photo, and note the vent is not blocked by those shrubs, there is space around it, you just can't tell from the angle of the photo :-) So my question is....can a wall mounted hood be installed to vent out the existing vent in the wall, or does a vent need to be created in the ceiling? Also, what type of professional can help answer any related questions I have about this? Would I ask the wall mounted vent manufacturer? Or a handyman? Thank you in advance for any guidance! I am a newbie homeowner and am learning as I go, so truly appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge with me!
