Would this fan work to vent propane gas grill smoke &amp; fumes? I have a partially enclosed outdoor deck and was considering fashioning a vent hood

I think is would work fine. It does make some noise when it's running,but not much more than a regular vent hood.

I put under stove exhaust fan while using. Assuming you have vented range hood.

I should really check the "I don't know" box, but a few considerations come to mind. (1) this is a powerful and reasonably noisy fan...ones built for the purpose of kitchen venting might be quieter. (2) you're dealing with a lot of grease and crud if you're over anything that produces smoke (such as an indoor bbq) and I doubt if this is built to handle that, (3) I should think that a hood arrangement built for the purpose might be just as cheap as a built-to-order stainless hood and duct work ( you would, of course, want stainless); (3) this is meant to evacuate an entire attic -- you could create quite a (detrimental) draft ducting it down to a single hood and/or overload the motor with restrictive duct work. But I don't see why it wouldn't work given the proper analysis and engineering. It is an exhaust fan, after all. If you're exhausting an entire (kitchen) room, I should think that the only things you need to worry about are the noise and potentially restrictive/overloading/damaging duct work.

This fan will work with a 3" vent, if size adapted to the 4" inlet/outlet of the fan unit. The velocity may be considered excessive and will create some noise. I recommend replacing your existing vent line to 4" and using the booster fan.

Hi. Not if you have proper ventilation. I always set mine on the stove right under the exhaust fan and have the window on the other end of my home open just a little so there is a path for the air to flow to the fan. This works for meat that is not real fatty. Now if you are cooking burgers or brats it's a good idea to also have a fan pointing outward in a window next to the grill to take care of the extra smoke. This is a great grill. I have tried three or four different kinds after they banned gas grilling on balconies and the others were terrible. This one cooks great food and is very easy to clean.

Most outdoor fans will be "damp rated". This one does not have this listed. You could certainly install it outside, but you may run into problems.

Hello, If you could send us some pictures of the pipe height we could better answer you question. The vent opening is 8 inches and it sounds like a perfect application for our product but if the pipes are to high the vent would not sit down properly on your deck. Thanks for your inquiry.

I didn't use the fan. I needed an exhaust fan that would exhaust to the outside atmosphere..........not room to room.

I use it with a large BGE with a SmokeWare Chimney Cap. I close the damper on the fan by about 30% and only open the cap vent about an 1/8 inch. I'm able to hold temp down around 200 for long periods using this method. If I don't partially close the damper the cap ends up controlling the temp (using the air being pulled through the fan without it being on) and it tends to run up to about 270 or so. You would probably want to reduce the damper on a larger BGE and increase on a smaller one.

Should this fan work great when the power is out ran on a generator? Ore could some one recommend a better one it gets hot in the summer in Houston. I will have a window ac but want to help push the cool air. Thank you.

I would say no. This fan mounts in the wall. It fits through the thickness of the wall and vents directly to outside, using no duct. If you need to use a 4 inch vent pipe, I would buy a fan made for that application.

No, it is not suitable for that application. You might want to try researching hydroponics ventilation to get an idea of what's out there. It is important for you to determine what kind of airflow you desire. Especially if it needs filtration for dust, smoke, or grease (cooking).

Mine vent does not have a fan and it works great. I imagine it would work with the fan as well.

No. This fan is design for a residential, light commercial installation and is resistant to humidity, only.You should search for an industrial ventilation fan ( or fume hood) and sit down before you check the price. Hope this helps.

This fan will move the air around 25 to 30 feet, it is quiet and will help to keep pests away. I believe this would be a good choice for a patio fan. Good Luck>

I believe as long as you have a place to vent it out of the space you are trying to cool, it should work. Just make sure that where ever you vent it out to, that it is ok to vent really warm air in there. This is a powerful machine and the air that it circulates out is hot. But it works really well cooling the space, I had it in an above garage room that would normally be very hot and it worked great!

My fan is installed in a covered area of my deck. It is open on two sides and overlooks Lake Martin. We had a previous Hunter out door fan there for fourteen years with no problems. It was not a cast iron Origional and it had become rusty but was still running.
