Exhaust Hood Advice Tue, 02/26/13 9:14 PM (permalink)

Would you guys mind giving me some advice on an exhaust hood? My ceiling will be 79" tall and I'm 6'2". Equipment under the hood will be a 30x36 griddle, two burner and a 45lb fryer. Here are the units I've been looking at:

Of concern to me is the height of the front lip blocking my view. I have no experience working under a hood and some of them have lips as much as 14" tall. I will also be venting out the back wall not out the top. I'm leaning towards the Superior hood as it is 100% stainless except for aluminum filters and they are 20" instead of 10" or 16". Any input before I make a $1500 mistake?

Thanks
