BS makes hoods. Presumably would fit their range.

I'm not convinced any of their products besides ranges are particularly good. 

 

I didn't mention brands because my research is from a couple of years ago, and isn't compete. I found this problem difficult enough that I've been kicking it down the road. I'll revisit when I'm ready to actually rebuild the whole kitchen. 

 

Here are my old notes, all for a 42" wide hood, which is probably adequate for a 36" range:

 

Prestige Pro-Line “High Capacity” 42”

PLHC42300 - 42"W x 30"D x 18"H

Largest containment area I've found in domestic hoods

1200CFM / 10” duct

Lights at top of crown instead of front light bar

May be mounted up to 42” above cooking surface

 

Best WPD38I42SB

42” 13000CFM  

27” Deep—seems ideal

Internal blower INCLUDED

3” extension available to increase capture area

 

Proline 42” PLFW 832.42

2000 cfm

25.5” deep

Internal single or dual blower (1000/2000)

 

The very best hoods are made by CaptiveAire and Accurex. These are commercial products, so it may be hard or impossible to find someone who will install it for you (but not as hard as with something dangerous like a commercial range). They also specialize in larger sizes, so finding something that fits your design can be harder.

I haven't yet investigated the option I mentioned in the earlier post (getting a bare insert that fits into custom cabinetry). I assumed this would be too expensive, but now know a carpenter to ask about this.
