Ventilation for 30' DCS gas range

14 years ago

I'm looking at converting from an electric to a gas range. The main candidates at the moment are DCS, Wolf, and Capital Precision. I don't want to do a kitchen remodel, just a range replacement, so I need to stay with a 30". The problem is, the existing range is installed on an interior wall with no external ducting, just a hood with a recirculating filter.

The existing hood is a 350 CFM model - if I replace it with a high-performance 600 CFM unit will it be safe to use, or do I absolutely need to install some kind of external vent?

Among the three I'm leaning toward the DCS and would welcome any comments on that subject as well.
