Hood FAQ

Read the FAQ on ventillation .

"As to the question of hood height, higher hoods have more capture area. Capture area is where the smoke, grease, vapors, steam, etc. stay as they bilow out of the cooking area until the fan get a chance to suck them outside.

If you are going to get a grill or do stir frying with any frequency, the taller hood will work better. If height is a problem, you can compensate by getting a larger blower than the rule of thumb suggests. But be aware that this exhausts more of the air that you have paid to heat and/or cool outside."
