Hello all,
I just built an outdoor kitchen under a cabana as part of my pool project. Unfortunately, the gas inspector from the city said I need a vent for my grill. This is quite the disappointment, since my kitchen builder never mentioned anything, and when we had the walls open, it would’ve been super easy to accommodate this. Now I’m struggling to find a vent that will work.
I’ll put a picture of the kitchen below, but effectively I have a Lion L75000 36” grill on the far left side of my kitchen. The inspector was only critical of the grill, not the small side burner. The few times we’ve grilled on this, particularly with fattier meats at higher temperatures, a vent would help clear some of the smoke, but it’s not that big of a deal since my roof is so high and we get great airflow as my deck is basically above ground on a canyon.
Anyways, I’ve been searching, but I can’t find a vent hood that vents out the side. I’m thinking if there’s a nice 36-40” hood that has a left side exhaust/exit, I can easily just vent it around the corner of the cabana and then up and out of the roof overhang.
Another option is a popup one that sucks down and then exhaust out the side of the cabinet, but I'm not sure if those are outdoor rated or would fly with the inspectors. I'm actually a fan of this as it would put up a heat wall to block some of the heat coming off the grill and hitting the siding.
Any other ideas, I’ve got that speaker precisely where a vent would run which can be moved, that’s my other option, but I’m not sure a huge stainless steel chimney/vent pipe would look great aesthetically where as I really don’t care what the it looks like on the side of the house. The carpenters can also enclose that in cedar and paint it the same color on that side to further mute it.
Thoughts, suggestions?
Thanks so much!
