2. How many Cubic Feet per Minute do I need for a range hood?
The required CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) for a range hood depends on the kitchen size, the stove width and the BTU (British Thermal Units) output of your stove.
As a general guideline, aim for a hood with a minimum of 100 CFM for every 10,000 BTUs of your stovetop. For example, if the stovetop has a total power of 60,000 BTUs, you would need a hood with 600 CFM.
