hey guys,
i'm trying to vent the smoke coming from the stack outside the patio...because of the place the offset is located and how the patio is built, i am going to have to vent it up straight through the patio roof
i figured i'd cut through the roof and vent it through with metal ducts (think a/c and water heater ducts up through the roof) but i need some ideas of how to catch the smoke from above the stack. i was thinking of using a range hood, but the under cabinet hoods seem kind of small and the island range hoods are perfectly sized, but expensive.
i like island range hoods i see here -

but i don't need to spend that much and don't need fans or lights. if it were possible to get just a shell of that somewhere made of cheap metal, but i've looked in the duct section of home depot and haven't found anything
help with ideas, please

Re: vent hood
I would think a draw/exhaust fan would be a must

Re: vent hood
Look at photos of the Salt Lick original pit in Driftwood - might give you an idea for an option. A local welder or steel fabrication shop might be able to do something for a decent price.

Re: vent hood
i dont' 'think a fan is necessary if i make the hood and exhaust above large enough, i'll just mount it a foot or so above and let gravity do its thing...there shouldn't be any reason the smoke wouldn't be able to be drawn out on top, is there?

Re: vent hood
draw and draft without a fan depends a lot on the top of the chimney - - - with a fireplace, the taller the better but if you don't have any obstructions blocking the currents then you should be OK - - - Also any good sheet metal shop should be able to fab you one up to your specs pretty reasonable - - - Good Luck and let us know what you end up doing
