My Smoke hood

[muncybob]

Thanks 711mhw. I would be interested in knowing the fan model if you could give me that. I would appreciate it. If I can save some money, every little bit helps.

Sorry for the delay, The fan is a Dayton (grainger) No. 1TDR7 blower. 115v 1/2 hp. and it has the capicitor I think. (it all came together)

Looks like the blower alone is about $160....

I have a Broan exterior mounted fan for kitchen exhaust. It might be a good solution for smoke exhaust as well. It moves 1500 cfm and the design of the cabinet prevents cold air from blowing in to the house.

Retail is 500 plus. But you can find them for under 200 refurbished.

I see a lot of split wood? Do you burn rounds as well.

i split most of the soft wood and the hard wood i keep round unless its unmanagable. the wood inside is my fire starting stuff. its 95* in the boiler room so it dries it real good.

I have tried the EKO draft inducer and also a high-volume range hood. The problem is that even 400 cfm is not enough air movement to pull the smoke out when loading or opening the door to knock down a bridge. I am looking at other options now also.

That is why I went with this.

See any reason why that wouldn't work as a wall mount?

Should work fine

Just wondering, instead of trying to suck the smoke "out" once the feed door opens, is it possible to have a wall mount fan that blows air "into" the room to sort of create a positive pressure and keep the smoke forced into the firebox?
