Exhaust for Outdoor Kitchen Area?
Posted on 3/11/15 at 11:22 am

I posted this on the F&D board under an outdoor kitchen thread but I am not getting much help there (not enough traffic I guess). I figured the OT would be able to answer this within a couple of minutes...
I have an outdoor kitchen area that is connected to my home. I have a grill against a solid wall with a hood exhaust vent over it. The hood is rated for outdoor use and has 2 blowers capable of moving 1200 CFM. I thought that this would be enough power to handle the smoke from the grill…but I was wrong. I have smoke that escapes the hood and makes its way to the peak of the ceiling (vaulted ceiling). From there, it seeps between the boards ultimately making its way into my attic area. Obviously, this is not ideal so I want to add additional ventilation to move that smoke out of that ceiling and up through the roof. There is nothing but attic above the outdoor kitchen so I don’t have to worry about any issues routing the exhaust. My question is…who does this type of work? Would it be a roof company, an electrician or a HVAC company?

I had a similar issue... Had to get a bigger hood. One that overlaps the grill on all sides by a foot.

I thought about this too, but I would be upset if I spent a thousand or two to get a really big hood...and it looked like shat and still didn't catch all of the smoke. If I find a way to move the smoke that my current hood doesn't catch from the pitched ceiling up through the roof, I should be good.

Same issue, never put in the hood though. I just run the ceiling fans on high and they move the smoke on out. Family can't be on porch if I'm burning something though I guess my attic over the porch probably smells like burnt meat

Exactly. I find the problem the worst when I am grilling fatty foods (burgers and marinated chicken) or when I am searing a steak on a really hot grill. If you go upstairs when I am grilling...that whole part of the house smells like the grill. I have even set off the smoke detectors up there before.
I have a large ceiling fan in the outdoor kitchen area but all it does is push the smoke back down to where people sit...which doesn't work very well. I need to install some sort of vent, just not sure what yet.

I'd call guys that fabricate and install commercial kitchen exhaust hoods. If you don't know who they are you can call companies that sell fire extinguishers and they'll know. HVAC guys will know how to vent vent-a-hoods but being knowledgable about the hoods themselves not so much.

You might need to drop the hood down a little closer to your grill. How high is it above your grill?

The hood definitely needs to overlap the cooking devices. 1200cfm seems sort of low. I'll have to check but I think my ventahoods flow a great deal more than that. If you wanted to do something custom, you could try Cribbs. They do custom fab work but are really slow.
