I believe most here will ask for more information. You will need to address: 1. how large of hood. 2. internal or external fan 3. built in or "stand alone" hood 4. any issues with size of ducting? larger CFM hoods require 10" We just put in a 1200 cfm external blower with an abbaka liner based on recommedations from people here and have been very happy From finished kitchen From finished kitchen

I have the Monogram 48" 4-burner/griddle/grill, and use the grill constantly--steaks, double-cut pork chops, fresh sausage, portobello caps, flatbread pizza, bell pepper slices, lamb burgers, swordfish. I have a Monogram 1200 CFM hood, and have never yet had to use the highest of the 4 settings. Re cleaning, my approach is to treat the grill like a cast iron pan--I want to develop a non-stick coating on the grill, and therefore wouldn't put the parts in the dishwasher. I clean it while it's still warm, with the same tough wire brush I use on the outdoor charcoal grill, followed by a wadded-up paper towel soaked in vegetable oil, held by tongs. Couldn't be happier with the results.

We are looking at the six burner options and seeking feedback.

Monogram all gas 48" range here. The thing has proven to be excellent. 18,000 btu burners work as advertised. I've seen reviews saying it has a difficult time boiling water but ours does so with ease. On max, you just need a wide pot to match the flame output. It boils water like nobody's business. I love the built-in meat thermometers and convection works really well. Broil is outstanding. The griddle I'm not in love with but when I need surface area, it comes in handy. The ovens are very well insulated. When baking, you can put your hand on the door or glass and it will be comfortably warm. After baking, the oven stays warm a very long time. I think a decent hood is needed but depending on your cooking, not necessarily 1200 cfm like others seem to be recommending. I would highly recommend the Monogram line. GE doesn't have the cachet of other makes but who really cares? I am not out to impress. Utilitarianism FTW!
