My "range" style electric cooker is set into what was once a large
fireplace and I want to fit an extractor into the recess above the
cooker. Because only the bottom will be visible I'd prefer to fabricate
something but I can't find a source for a 2 or 3 speed extractor fan
that I could put in a recess in the old chimney to blow through ducting
to the outside world (not up the chimney) or think of a source for an
attractive stainless steel bottom plate and filters.
Any suggestions?

Why are you unable to find extractor fans? Is your computer hopelessly broken?

Google "canopy extractor fan " (poss images first to fine tune
search terms)

That'll sort switching, filters, fans, lights, then you just need
a structure to mount on & "gather" the steam etc to
it

Did one myself years ago around a reasonably priced canopy
extractor. That one was "free hanging" from the ceiling over a 5
burner "wok" gas hob. Worked well.

Maybe I wasn't clear - I'm thinking of fabricating the whole thing so
need an extractor fan (not a complete hob extractor hood) that can go in
a duct and will cope with the heat - I presume that a bathroom duct
extractor wouldn't like the heat. If you know of one then it would be
useful if you could find me a link.
I guess it may be simplest to get a used hood from somewhere and salvage
the bits.

Agreed.

When I put in a range cooker a number of years ago I was slightly
horrified to find that wide cooker hoods were £300 upwards while
standard 600 mm ones started at £60. Solution: I have two bolted
together. I am sure your easiest solution would be to bodge one or two
normal cooker hoods into the space.

Thanks. That's a good bit of lateral (literally!) thinking ;-)
