Looking for a high powered venthood.

13 years ago
I'm looking for a high powered venthood that can handle wok cooking. I thought one of the things that would help would be to increase the hood size in comparison to the range i.e. a 36" hood over a 30" range. Do you think it would look odd?

    It might. If it's a freestanding island cooktop with a hood overhead, then it might look OK, but if it's nestled between cabinetry, like I did in the kitchen above, it really should match the cooktop size. I like the brand "Best" hoods. There are specifications about how close the hood can be mounted above the cooktop for stronger ventilation, and if you're able get an external duct to the outside (as opposed to recirculating), you'll get better ventilation overall.
