I thought I had mentioned that. Sorry, but chimney hood. I will look at AJ Madisons and see if I find anything. Thanks.

Hi Julie, some range hood companies are able to lower the CFM for their range hoods if you request it. This is usually done by reducing the speeds of the range hood, and this way it can comply with the building codes in your area. Since your ceiling is lower than 8', you will likely need to have the stainless steel chimney cover that comes with the range hood cut to fit. You can sometimes request that through the company which you are purchasing your range hood, or you can speak with a local metal shop and see if they have experience cutting stainless steel.

If you are willing to spend the time to have the stainless cover cut, and the CFM reduced, you should be able to pick out any range hood style that is 30" in size. I would suggest speaking to the companies that you are looking at when purchasing your range hood and see if they offer these custom services.

Good luck with the remodeling!

Do you only need 400 cfm for your stove or cooktop? My BS rangetop required much higher cfm. So it depends on what your stove or cooktop needs.

Unfortunately, stove recommends 600 but it becomes too expensive with make up air requirements. I found something that should work. If I use all the burners at once, I'll open a window! Should still be better than my current cheap hood that isn't exhausted outside...

Thanks for your help.

Shoot, I wish my house was that airtight!
