I'm not sure this is what you're looking for. I have a 1600 cfm prestige insert into my wood hood. The hood is 54" wide and 27" deep. This is my kitchen in progress

Thanks! That's gorgeous and I'm also planning on a 48" painted bluestar.

To be more clear, I'm looking for what I guess is a undercabinet pro hood (like the bluestar ones) with a plain boxed in duct cover in wood that matches cabinets, but without it looking LIKE cabinets.

Thanks. Maybe someone will have that old wolf catalog.

Here is my vent hood and wood duct cover above: simple maple veneer plywood boxing, painted the wall color.

Hi Buffalotina-
I like your range hood. Can you provide details ~ brand name, model number, etc? What dimensions? Looks like 30 wide, how high and deep? Assume it has baffle filters, halogen lights. Are you happy with it?

The Viking hood I had planned to order is on backorder for a few weeks ... so this as possible alternative.
Thanks,

Yes, buffalotina, that's just about it! It looks terrific, how did you decide to match the wall color and not the cabinet color? I don't know if it would have occured to me to try that but I really like it!

The hood is Bluestar/Prestige Pro-Line, 36" wide (over 30" range). It has baffle filters, variable speed 1200 CFM blower (you can get a 600 too), and dimmable halogen lights. It is 24" deep. I LOVE the hood, it is excellent. The design is seamless and the stainless and finish are really nice. The design is great too because the lights are in the center: right where you need them over the stove and then the capture area comes right to the front of the hood. Purchased from Eurostoves with no trouble at all and a good price, especially for the upgraded blower. Trevor also has an excellent knowledge of ventilation.

I saw this treatment of a duct cover, including the crown moulding, in a book called The New Bungalow Kitchen. It was in a 1920 - 1930 style kitchen and when I saw it I knew it was exactly what I wanted. The crown moulding runs all around the kitchen, above all the cabinets too. Although I used the wall color, the wall color is very close to my cabinet color. I like the wall color in this case because I have no cabinets next to the range and also it gives the feeling that the vent hood is sort of floating/hanging in the air. I think it makes it look less bulky and imposing that way. Anyway, apart from that book I have never seen another kitchen done with the hood this way. Perhaps we are starting a trend! Much cheaper than a stainless cover too!

I am planning on ordering all my appliances from Trevor, but had really wanted a Modernaire hood, the barrel one that is popular on this forum. But now I want to move the range position for better functionality and need to do some funky things with running ductwork. I've got a call into Trevor now and maybe I'll be able to fax him a sketch. Thanks for mentioning Trevor. I wouldn't have thought to ask him. I have an architect, but his knowledge of hvac seems to be limited.
