built in range hood recommendation
Comments (1)I think Wolf, Zephyr and Modernaire should all function about the same and likely well enough for your use. More: https://www.gardenweb.com/discussions/5161173/hood-faq...See MoreRange hood recommendation
Comments (3)Some highlights of your problem space's requirements: The hood needs to overlap all of the cooking zones by enough to capture at least a 10-degree plume expansion angle (from vertical) Baffles are needed to handle that much grease Flow rate needs to be at least 90 CFM/sq. ft. of hood entry aperture A transition to rectangular duct may be called for to use as much of the joist space as necessary to minimize the pressure loss you have to deal with Use an outdoor blower that is rated at at least 1.5X the product of the hood entry area (sq.ft.) and the 90 CFM/sq.ft. value above Provide necessary make-up air...See MoreRange hood recommendation for 36" Bluestar range
Comments (13)Not sure if you’ve already selected your range hood. I do a lot of Asian wok cooking too, and that’s one of the main reasons we bought BlueStar 36” RNB (just stainless steel) last month. With the appliance store salesperson’s recommendations, we paired it with Best by Broan PK22 insert pro-range hood - 1200cfm on internal blower. It worked fantastic and low noise on low and medium settings, the highest setting is kinda loud but i can live with it as i can still keep the same tv volume in another room. We had our hvac contractor to put in the new 10” duct to the exterior of the house and a makeup air component as part of our county requirement. We did consider Bluestar range hoods to pair with but we didnt see the need to spend that extra $ since we can still achieve great results with this particular Broan hood which is less than half the price of a BS one. For us, the installation costs adds up too, especially we‘ve never had an external duct in the kitchen as we use to have a microwave hood....See MoreHelp. Ductless range hood recommend.
Comments (6)Unfortunately that may be difficult to find. Most built in units are set up to be ducted. I saw a couple on Broan's website but they had ok reviews. They are not strong - the stronger units really are only the vented kind. Look into some of the big name brands - Broan, Best by broan, Vent-a-hood, Zephyr - I'm sure there are a few others. I don't know how fast you can get something like that - especially the way things are now, so you may have to wait. It's a shame there was no way to figure out how to get outside??...See Morekaseki
