The hood web page says "max. 65 dB", which is 13.0 sone - not terrible for "High" but a lot higher than 7.0. 1.2 sone is a little hard to believe. Where are you seeing those numbers?

Check that you don't need a downstream fire trap - might be built in to the fan. And of course you will need some sort of through-roof chimney. That's the one part of the upgrade I would probably f* up.


Any use for a wok burner?
I got it right off the ZLINE website.

Do you mean fire damper.
I have worked on tested and installed plenty of them.
I have actually installed entire commercial kitchen fire suppression systems.

I dont know what you do for a living but I can tell you they have some crazy wild turbine/vortex fans now on HAVAC systems that are the size of a foot ball and will suck you right through the system.
I know I have been inside some while they are running.

Installing the duct a piece of cake the ceiling joists run the right way so I dont have to worry about running into one going through the ceiling.
I need to go between the ceiling joists 90 through a wall and 90 back up and straight up and out.
Maybe 6 feet of 6 inch duct at the most.
French tops and wok burners I have no use for.
If I want to use a wok I can get a wok ring and set it on the burner heck I can make one.
I have a wok I have had for over 30 years we bought from a Chinese market, It is the real thing.
It has spent most of its life on a small bed of hot coals.
