I understood the question. If anyone actually made a rangehood just out of
wood.... I'd feel real sorry for them.

I do a lot of Chinese cooking very hot wok, over time the "wooden hood
cover" was showing it's age prematurely. It was a bitch to keep clean and
manage the surface. Oil is oil and hot oil will still permeate the wood hood
cover over time and turn rancid. So we chucked it and went Stainless Steel
with a Copper cover! Much nicer....and easier to maintain.....

I'd like to build a wooden range hood. Does anybody know where I can
get
some plans for various hoods?
I'd appreciate any help.

I'd stay clear of wood. Simply not fire retardant and difficult to
clean.


That's true, yet there are wooden range hood *covers* that have a
metallic liner in the bits that get hot. Could this be what the OP is
looking for?
