Trade-Wind L7200 Series Wall-Mount Outdoor Barbecue Liner Inserts (Liner Only) Frequently Asked Questions

What does “Liner Only” mean for the Trade-Wind L7200 Series?

“Liner Only” refers to the stainless-steel canopy liner without an included blower/motor assembly. It’s designed to be built into a custom outdoor hood surround while allowing you to select a compatible in-line, remote, or internal blower separately to meet your ventilation and ducting needs.

Where is a liner insert used, and why choose a liner instead of a full hood?

A liner insert is used inside a custom-built hood enclosure (masonry, metal, or wood-framed with proper non-combustible finishes). Choose a liner when you want a seamless, built-in look that matches your outdoor kitchen design while still getting proper baffle filtration, lighting, and a cleanable stainless capture area.

Which blower options work with this liner, and how do I size CFM?

Select a compatible Trade-Wind (or approved) in-line/external blower that matches your grill’s BTU output, cooking style, and duct layout. As a rule of thumb, larger grills or high-heat searing benefit from higher CFM and straighter, larger-diameter duct runs. Your installer can help calculate target CFM based on appliance output and duct length/turns.

What widths and clearances should I consider when matching to my grill?

Pick a liner width equal to or slightly wider than the grill opening for best capture. Maintain required clearances from combustible materials per the installation manual, and plan for a deep capture area typical of outdoor applications to control smoke and grease effectively.

How do I install and maintain the liner for long-term performance?

Have a qualified installer mount the liner in a non-combustible enclosure, connect the selected blower and ducting, and wire per local code. For care, wash baffle filters regularly, wipe stainless surfaces with mild soap and water, and keep the duct discharge path clear. Avoid operating without filters installed.
