Beautiful Work Range Hood Smaller Than Cooktop

I didnt even realize why until about a year after cooking on the stove.

Range hood smaller than cooktop. Most people tend to go with a smaller vent hood above an electric cooking surface instead of a professional range hood because there is less heat smoke and grease escaping. Speaking from experience my range hood is about 3 inches too short for the stove. In a commercial kitchen it is actually illegal for a range hood to be smaller than the cooktop in any dimension.

Range hood CFM over an electric stove depends on the width of your range. The duct serving the hood shall have a smooth interior surface shall be air tight shall be equipped with a back-draft damper and shall be independent of all other exhaust. It should be six inches larger than your cooktop for indoor hoods.
