Help choosing vent hood?

11 years ago

I have this stove. Stove is 30" with the two front burners being 15K and 17K. My kitchen is open to dining/living areas with vaulted ceilings. We are giving our kitchen a facelift and need to replace the OTR microwave. There are cabinets on both sides of the stove and above) so there is only 30" in width unless there is a way to make a hood wider under the neighboring cabinets? Our house is very air-tight. We cook for 10 daily (1 big meal, 1 small meal) and we cook a wide variety of things except fish.

Our wishlist:

-an undercabinet hood (not chimney style)

-vented to the outside

-quiet as possible

What size fan would be best? We are considering an OTR Convection microhood with 400 cfm vented outside. Would this be woefully inadequate for our needs? Would we need to have a make-up air system with a more powerful hood?

Thanks for any insight and tips you can share!
