DUCTLESS vent hood for under cabinet chimney
Comments (2)My first thought - you are crazy to use a ductless. But I read your post and my answer is going to be really easy - don't put a vent hood in. There is a custom house that was for sale next to us when the people couldn't close. I think as a cost saving matter, they had no vent. They had what I'm guess is a mantle type cabinet (I'm not exactly sure what that is but I think I know). You looked up from the range and it was a flat piece of painted drywall. I'm sure they installed a light or two. That gives you power in case you ever want a vent. As an aside, it turns out they roughed the duct in, so I'm thinking that they wanted a nice hood so where going to wait until after closing. This is all in a strict inspection/code town. Forgive me if I get the terms confused but in my mind there is a liner a blower and a hood. I think you already have a planned cabinet hood (mantle type) so you aren't really asking about a hood. It is the liner and blower. I would be surprised if anyone made what you are looking for. There are recirc vent hoods but they wouldn't be invisible or covered by a cabinet. You could probably take the guts of a ventless hood and make what you want very easily....See MoreShow me your SS chimney hood vent with flue extensions, pls
Comments (9)Boxerpups, I am thrilled to hear from you. I so appreciate your taking the time to research pics for me. It is MUCH more noticeable than the Broan pic you shared. I would be very happy if it were to look like any of the samples you posted. I'm also glad for the encouragement that it's possible to have the two pieces smooth and flat -- I swear talking to the contractor and carpenters made me feel like I was going crazy... as if my expectations were outrageously high. They insist that the pieces aren't manufactured properly, whereas the tech support team said they have received zero complaints of this type about this vent, with the caveat that the pieces are very easily bent. I don't know who/what to believe. Ahhh... this too shall pass. And, at some point it will all be done to my satisfaction....See MoreDuct cover for stainless steel chimney hood
Comments (1)We sunk ours up into the ceiling (pics of our kitchen are in the FKB and in the Gallery). We'd had it cut to a certain height, but DH realized after the fact that it needed to be even shorter. Luckily we already knew we were going up through the ceiling w/it because the cut he made--with wire snips no less, was far from pretty (or safe with that jagged edge)!!!...See MoreChimney style hood, but must vent to the side
Comments (7)Thanks, all, this is useful: cawaps: full-width duct cover, that'd be perfect! I imagined my contractor rigging something, but of course it makes sense they make hoods that come with such a cover built in. huango and palimpest: the straight regular chimney does look nice, and if space/construction allows that'd be great. In our case it's not a full reno, though just the hood, so if breaking into the ceiling adds much $$$ that might not be worth it. But if it isn't a big deal for the contractor, we'll do it bellsmom: I get what you're saying, and yes, that would work too if for whatever reason a hood with full-width cover isn't a good option. And it would give us a bit of storage, too. Problem #2 that just ocurred to me is the side wall exhaust would come out immediately under our retractable deck awning. Hot exhaust under vinyl (or whatever it is) might not be a good idea, or at the least it could trap the smoke right there by the patio door. Hmm. If our fridge and stove were swapped this could work. In the fridge location, the stove would back to an exterior wall with no utilities or external obstructions, and the little over-fridge cabinet would be the right height for an u/c hood. Would have to remove the over-stove cabinet to make room for fridge, but no big loss. But, this would mean running a new gas line and a new water line (ice maker), and leave the stove closer to the sink than we'd like. Oh, how quickly it all snowballs!...See MoreMelissa Rutledge
