I am considering the 42" Wolf Pro Wall Chimney Hood (PWC422418) with a 900 cfm internal blower to go over a 36" Wolf AG range with charbroiler. I would love to go with something like Modernaire, but $4K for a hood is out of the question. I found a good deal on an open-box Wolf hood, but want to make sure it is a good hood.

Is the Wolf good at removing HOGS? Is the blower noisy? Are the baffles easy to remove and clean in DW?

I considered using a 1400 cfm Abbaka Hy-Ex external blower with the Wolf hood, but the dealer says they can't be used together.
