More on Hoods

Who’d have thought that a hood would be the most complicated issue? I guess that makes sense: moving air is much more complicated than one would imagine.

Several people, my sis-in-law Doreen included, have recommended the 30” height above the cook top. We do make a lot of stock pot type things (stock, fried chicked) so that made a lot of sense.

I called Ventahood to ask if the hood spec’ed out by Kennedy-Hahn would work at that height. They asked about the cook top we’re getting and immediately said that that hood SLDH14136SS is the wrong hood. With the BTU output of our cook top, we’d need a 18” high hood, the SEPH18236SS, not the 14”.

I spoke with Carrie at K-H and she changed to the larger hood.
