| Looking for a hood insert that is around 40" or so for my 6 burner 36" rangetop. Minimum CFM of around 600. What do you recommend? Links are appreciated. |

| We've been looking at hoods lately too. And are likely to go with an Abakka insert and custom made copper shell by a local metal smith. They are willing to custom make the insert and get good reviews. |

| BTW I called Modern-Aire. Their 40" 300 series stainless 600CFM is $1531 shipped. 22.5" depth. |

| I have a Modern Aire, but it's a 34". I love it. I bought it at a Kitchen Center. |

Yes both Modernaire and Abakka will do custom fora modest up charge. We are going with the remote blower. The shape of the abakka worked
Out better for our space |

| How much extra is a remote blower setup? |

| In my recent hood search and research, I found that Modern Aire uses Abakka blowers for their remote set ups. I needed a pyramid/chimney style for over an island, which needed to be customized for our sloped ceiling. I also wanted a remote blower. Had it narrowed down to Modern Aire or Prizer, (BlueStar's parent co.) Decided on the Prizer, because of it's seamless construction, although a bit more $. I believe they do inserts as well. prizerhoods.com |
