Hi,

In our kitchen, the conduit hole is not directly above the cooktop --
so if we were to put in a kitchen hood, we would have to put a kink in
the flue. Surely there is a kitchen hood out there that is not just T-
shaped or box shaped to accommodate kitchen situations where the duct
hole is not in line with where the kitchen hood needs to be?

If possible, we'd like to put in a ducted one and not downdrafts...

Thanks for any leads!

Find a competent sheet metal shop and talk with the staff there. Odds
are they can design and build you a classy offset hood of stainless
that would look just right in your situation. If they have done custom
designs before it will be a breeze, and probably not all that $$. You
may have to work out some cabinet modifications, so be flexible in the
discussions. Good luck,
