Off topic but no more so than most conversations here....

With all this home time the misso is up my ribs about finishing the kitchen - she cooks some pungent tucker at times which demands a powerful rangehood.

There's no point in recirculating these aromas so it needs to be an externally ducted system. And I hate rangehood noise so it has to be very quiet. The only commercially available product that fits the brief is made by Schweigen and costs $3000 supplied only - for all purposes it looks like a normal rangehood, nothing fancy other than the externally mounted extraction fan.

What's stopping me buying:
A standard Canopy Rangehood - $300
Some flexible Ducting ~ $20
And a through wall exhaust fan ~ $300

Then just remove the standard extraction fan and re-route the control wiring to the wall mounted extraction fan?

Anyone done similar or want to talk me out of it?

Yours in home improvements,
