Very narrow cooker hood

We are planning to locate our cooker under a low horizontal beam in our new kitchen and to build in the extractor fan into the beam (i.e make the beam wider by boxing in the fan, so all you see is the inlet of the extractor on the underside of the beam).

There is no restriction on the width or height of the unit , but the hood unit needs to fit into a space 200mm deep (front to back of cooker).

Anyone know where I could source one this narrow? The narrowest I can find so far are about 300m deep.

Maybe I will need to make one up with an inline fan and some sort of vent grill? any tips on this?

HI you could try ,wats known as 'an under canopy hood' ie it sits in under a canopy you can get them with twin motors, so they are fairly powerful. They have a flange all round hat you may be able cut off.

Yes that's what I'm looking for. Or the kind that fits into a small kitchen press over your cooker. The problem is finding a model that's only about 200m deep, or can be pared down to 200mm, as you suggest.

200mm depth for your hood? I don't think that's possible - it's tiny! Are you really suggesting that your cooker is only 200mm deep??? That's about as deep as a bag of flour!

The cooker is standard 600x600, but I dont want a big hood over it, just a smallish vent set into the beam. I don't think the fan needs to completey cover the cooker, does it?

the standard canopy hoods have a 260 mm cut out with an overall depth of about 280-290.i havent seen any smaller

is it possible you coold get an external extractor so that you only had to cater for the vent hose behind the beam

The idea of the hood is to gather the steam and funnel it towards the extractor vent. I don't think a vent alone will be very effective, especially if it's high up above the cooker. (Not sure of the height of this beam of which you speak - you say it's a low horizontal beam but surely it's a standard ceiling height?)

The beam holds up 2.4m ceiling, and it's about 300 high so I suppose it starts at about 2.1m, which would be maybe 900mm above a pot.
