This wooden range hood canopy - otherwise known as a mantel hood - posed some challenges as it was only 14" deep and 72" wide and was over a 27" deep by 48" wide professional range with a griddle and the client BBQ's extensively indoors during the cold Ontario winters. The challenge comes in that ideally there should be full coverage over the burners otherwise any cooking that took place on the front of the stove would not be captured by the hood.
We therefore needed to maximize the suction over the immediate cooking surface and accomplished this by placing flat panels on either side of the range hood capture area where the baffle filters where placed. Suction was achieved with a variable speed 1000cm external range hood blower. Lighting is dimmable halogen range hood lighting.
