Here's what I need and I'm open to suggestions... As you all know, I'm building a tiny house. I have a 14" gas burner cooktop for the kitchen. It's a single burner but a 15k BTU one. I need a decent hood. I don't have room for a 30" hood. I have a 20" 12v RV hood, but it's crappy and not what I want really. Can't find anything in the 18-20" range in stainless that's not crap or obscenely expensive. I want quality, but this is a very niche item, especially in the US. So, I'm thinking build a hood box and put a motor/duct/ filter in it myself. I don't weld, or at least I wouldn't call what I can do welding, and know nothing about stainless welding. I can build the internals from light gauge metal and wire it up/duct it myself. Figured I 'd throw it out to the community.
I need a hood shell shaped like this...
6"-8" tall, 18" wide by 18" deep for a couple inches, tapered back to 12" deep. I'd like it to be at least 16 gauge I think. Solid box all the way around, I'll cut the duct opening in the back where it's needed.
Thoughts???
Anyone want to help a brother out? I will gladly pay/work out a trade, but the budget is tight these days. I can probably dig up the material too unless someone has some scrap material sitting around they'd care to donate to the cause as well.
