Rangehood installation, angled ceiling

[Shacklife]

Hi all,
In the kitchen of my shed-house is a gas stove/oven but no rangehood or extractor fan - I would like to install one. I plan on replacing the gas unit with an electric one, and an induction cooktop.
The ceiling is Colourbond at a ~40° angle, with just a 90mm cavity between that and the roof, corrugated gal sheets. I'm not sure how to approach a solution.

My question is, how should I go about building a rangehood to suit, with coverage for a 60cm cooktop? What should I be looking for in terms of a fan, hood and vent?
I'd welcome rough ideas or specific products, am hoping to source most second hand and happy to construct a cowl etc in timber where possible.

Cheers,
Rob

the solution to the slope is you make an oval hole so the flue (if round) can be vertical.
if a square/rectangle flue then similar but different - not sure what shape you call it.
in the past I just made a template to get the hole shape right, but there are probably google answers if you put in the flue size and roof angle.

as for the rangehood itself - get one that sucks, literally.
see a demo and make sure it can suck & hold an A4 piece of paper.

width - to match your cooktop.
height above cooktop - as per safety specs - they are different for gas and electric.

one thing to remember is you want the flue above the roof to be high - in fact, higher than your ridgeline, otherwise it won't draw as well as it should; but you rarely see anyone do it.

how should I go about building a rangehood

That would be quite a project. Consider buying one and save yourself work and possibly troubles.

I've only fitted one rangehood. It leaked on the first downpour. And I thought I was being so careful. Tried to fix it - failed. Called in a roof plumber - okay for a while, then it leaked. Called in another roof plumber and got it fixed.

I promised myself if I ever fit another one it's not going through the roof. It'll be going through the wall where it's protected by the eaves.

I think the problem here is that, judging by the steel splashback, the roof/ceiling starts at around about the start/underside of a legal rangehood, and you won't find one off the shelf with that profile.

@Shacklife, can you confirm the distance from the hob to the ceiling measured at the splashback...

Between the hob and ceiling is 570mm.

Thanks for the other suggestions, much appreciated.

We live in a colonial cottage and our kitchen has a sloping ceiling similar to yours ,except that the height of the vertical wall behind our stove is 1,000mm only!
To be efficient a hood/extractor fan needs to have more or less the same surface area as the cooktop itself and stands exactly above it. A hood would have been too low so we had a skylight installed right above the stove. This is nowhere as efficient as a hood but does the trick to get the worst out of the kitchen except that the smell of things pan-fried of roasted in the oven will linger for hours, often overnight...

Our solution has been to use the BBQ on our terrace next to the kitchen! We pan-fry or roast absolutely everything on the barbie and have done for the past 10 years or so. No smells inside!

Sorry Shacklife, can't help and hope you can find a solution! :U
