Has anyone built there own kitchen vent hood? The prices of “custom” hoods are outrageous. I found a NuTone hood insert with adequate volume online for cheap. It seems to me that it is as simple as casing it in with wood to match the cabinets. I also assume that there must be some minimum height from the combustible surface.
Any thoughts?

I made a 18 inch wide box the same size as a cheapy nutone hod vent and then had it covered with stainless steel at the local sheetmetal shop. cost was $35.00. The vent itself was flea market.
