Blaze Outdoor Kitchen Vent Hoods
The fun part of building an outdoor kitchen is grilling in the great outdoors. But the smoke and fumes from these barbecues will need to go somewhere, which is why proper ventilation is a must. Smoke carries grime and grease that then clings to every surface of your outdoor space, and in time those substances can corrode, stain, clog, and cause overall damage to your grill and outdoor kitchen. The job of your vent hood is to remove smoke and grease caused by your grill to protect your space. Blaze vent hoods do just that, removing smoke and preventing grease from entering and damaging the exhaust ductwork. Beyond their main role in ventilation, Blaze vent hoods also come with 4 LED lights to illuminate your grilling space, so you can cook comfortably even in low light conditions.
Constructed of 304 grade stainless steel, these hoods are equipped with 6 commercial-style baffles and 1 or 2 high performance 4-speed blowers. They are rated for up to 2,000 Cubic feet per minute (or CFM) to effortlessly clear your patio of smoke. CFM is the volume of air a vent hood can move and depends on a few factors such as vent hood construction, the number and size of the blowers, and ducting requirements. More CFM means more smoke gets moved, giving you a more pleasant grilling experience.
When finding the right size vent hood, aim for one that’s at least 3 inches bigger than your grill surface on each side and at least as deep as the grill itself. Blaze offers vent hoods in 42-, 36-, and 48-inch widths and are designed deeper for extreme performance. This extra depth allows you to install them higher than traditional hoods for a de-cluttered space. As with all Blaze products, these vent hoods are built with exceptional quality and precise attention to detail.
