48 inch hood liner with a 60 inch range
Comments (5)In principle, you could extend it to achieve a collection aperture big enough for your range. This would require the basic unit to be rather high and the baffles somewhat harder to reach for cleaning. The angle of the extension pieces must be sufficiently close to vertical that effluent reflects upward when impinging on the extension. This makes the collecting aperture of the liner rather high, and the overall assembly rather large. Cabinetry may help obscure this. Whether 1200 cfm (at zero static pressure drop that you won't achieve) is adequate depends on many factors, but it might be risky because with a large aperture, the velocity of the air at the aperture might be relatively low and not helpful for containing the effluent. On the other hand, as the effluent rises and narrows in the hood, when it reaches the baffles the air velocity will be higher and perhaps adequate. I would be concerned that with significant cooking ongoing, rising effluent from multiple sources would not be contained, as may be seen in published Schlieren photographs of commercial units pulling insufficient cfm. Conceivably, a second helper fan inline with the ducting or mounted to the roof could be used to boost flow. Methods of control of both fans would need to be considered. Your trade-off here is avoiding the loss of the liner purchase price and committing to a lot of time to ensure a bastardized design will work, along with a lot of additional cost for parts and welding, versus just buying the right assembly and possibly reselling the unneeded liner. The liner capture area should extend beyond the cooking zone such that rising and expanding effluent intercepts the aperture and not the area outside the aperture where it will not be captured. A 66 to 72 inch liner will be needed. In any case, don't forget the need for make-up air. kas...See More60" range options - Wolf, BS, Capitol, American Range???
Comments (4)Hi. I saw this post from September and I am wondering what you went with. I just had installed (mere hours ago) in my own dream kitchen which can accommodate a 60" cooking space - 2 of the 30" gas ranges by Wolf. Knowing I wanted Wolf from the start, I weighed the various options and went back and forth on the range top and 2 wall ovens, vs 60"single unit vs the 2 sep ones. The cost is higher + the fact that I want the added burners rather than the griddle, charbroil, etc. So, I chose 2 - 30" units so I could have all I needed and get a pantry out of the space I had originally expected the wall ovens to go into. They have been sitting in my kitchen not in their proper place for the last 2 weeks while gas lines were being set up, however after finally being hooked up by the gas company today I am really annoyed that they don't sit flush on the sides. My contractor said he will do his best to really get them closer together but he says there will be a gap that remains in the middle. Not happy! I didn't know this gap would be there and I am sort of irritated that the sales person didn't indicate this when I asked him about gaps and cleaning for the sides that hit the counters. I specifically talked to him about how much I hate when spills go over the sides and they canâÂÂt be cleaned and these are not light ranges that can be pulled out when I feel the need to clean. It NEVER crossed my mind that it would be in the middle too. Wondering if yours is the same and if it bothers you, how you dealt with it. (I have put a call into the shop and have not heard from them yet) Really bummed about this. Maybe IâÂÂll get over it but my excitement bubble has burst and I am sort of wishing I had spent the extra few thousand (gasp!) for the 60â unit. Also, if you did go with Wolf, I am wondering if you got the stainless steel riser? I am also surprised with how the back sits a bit away from the wall and how the vent holes are exposed also making me wonder how cleanup will be if anything spills over backwards? Thanks!...See MoreVenting a range hood - options??
Comments (3)I'm curious to see some comments too. I'm about to buy my hood. thinking of going with a 42 for a 36" stove. I can vent directly out the wall if i want - no problems as its on the 2nd floor and on a wall i don't care too much about. or i can go straight to the roof. i'm going to use a hood without cabinets above (i like the look). any pros and cons of going to the roof vs out the wall? i think thru the roof is generally preferred but i'm not sure why... sorry for the thread jack. just thought that with 2 similar questions we might get more responses....See MoreHigher end range + downdraft options?

Comments (21)Thanks, all, for the passionate comments. As I mentioned in the original post, I think we are already too far down the road of "range goes in island" as the room is still down to studs, but electrical and plumbing are in and we're poised to begin drywalling in the next 2 weeks. However, our plan is below in case anyone has ideas... this is becoming my biggest regret already! Note that we are planning a range (not a cooktop) in the island and an oven + micro in the wall (not double ovens). We arrived at this because we dislike under-the-counter micros and don't have a ton of upper space in this kitchen. There is no view, but the island overlooks a big open floorplan sitting area and dining room, which opens to backyard with french doors. The window over the sink overlooks a sunny front yard. It is not a "show kitchen" as we are regular and adventurous cooks. But... I would caveat to say that we intend to sell the place within 3-5 years so want to make sure we don't make poor choices for resale. It is not intended to be a "forever home". Plan (That's a desk in the lower-right corner) Note massive pantry bank in lower right of this view is now a short run of uppers and lowers....See Morekaseki
