Yea I wasn't sure about the SS cover either...especially at the price the original place quoted. I will keep looking at it all but im still wondering if there's anyone that has a vent over theirs right now with some first hand experience of...does it vent worth a hoot if there's light breeze?


One thing I did just notice too is the loudness of the 2 vents. The cheaper one is 11 Sones where as the more expensive one is only 6.5. I wonder how loud 11 is because the other is almost 1/2 as loud. I dont want to have to yell while trying to cook like im at a crawfish boil

1200 cfm is quite a draw of air. Even with a breeze, it will direct the air upward. now, if it's gusting, you're gonna get some blow-by. but in fairly light breezes, most of the smoke will go up. Esp if you have a 4' long exhaust hood or two 48" side by side.

Another thing to consider is cleaning that bad boy. If you move the grill to a non-vent location, you've eliminated a big old spot of maintenance/cleaning. The baffle-style & grease drip rail exhaust hoods have lots of surface area that can & will attract dirt, mud daubers, etc. I've reached the point in my life where I don't need another shiny thing to clean. I just want functional and easy care.
