Trade-Wind L7200 Series Wall-Mount Outdoor Barbecue Hood Liner Insert with Internal Blower Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Trade-Wind L7200 Series Hood Liner Insert and where is it used?

The Trade-Wind L7200 Series Hood Liner Insert is a premium stainless-steel commercial-grade hood liner designed for outdoor barbecue or grilling islands. It is built for installation into custom canopies or outdoor wall-mount hood systems, integrating an internal blower (in certain models) to remove smoke, grease and heat from high-output outdoor cook zones. This liner version is especially ideal for upscale outdoor kitchens where performance and aesthetics both matter.

What are its key features, materials and performance specifications?

This liner is constructed of heavy-gauge #304-grade stainless steel with a #4 brushed finish, designed to withstand outdoor exposure. It features a generous capture depth of approximately 32″ and models are available in widths from approximately 34½″ to 70½″. Internal blower versions deliver **~1,200 CFM** or **~2,300 CFM** depending on model size. Comes with commercial stainless steel baffle filters, LED or halogen lighting, and is pre-wired for blower installation.

What’s included and what additional equipment or installation should I plan for?

The liner insert units typically include the canopy liner body, stainless steel baffle filters, lighting (depending on model), and blower motor (for “internal blower” versions). However, installation requires proper outdoors-rated mounting backing, correctly sized ductwork (single or dual 10″ starts), suitable electrical supply (120 V branch circuit), and weather-protected discharge to the exterior. The installer must ensure correct clearances, duct sealing and outdoor rated materials.

How should I operate, maintain and clean the liner for best performance?

To operate: turn on the blower before cooking to establish airflow, then adjust blower speed as needed based on grill output. For maintenance: regularly remove and clean the stainless-steel baffle filters (many models allow dishwasher cleaning), wipe stainless surfaces with mild soap and a soft cloth, inspect and ensure the discharge duct is free of obstructions, and cover or protect the unit when not in use during extreme weather. Never operate the blower without filters in place.

Outdoor suitability and durability features should I know?

These liner inserts are engineered for outdoor use with durable stainless steel construction and blowers rated for patio/terrace environments.

How do I select the correct width/model and match it to my outdoor grill or cooking setup?

Choose a liner width that is equal to or slightly larger than your built-in grill width (for example, a 46½″ or 52½″ width for a 48″ grill). Ensure the liner depth (~32″) and height clearances are compatible with your island design. Match the CFM rating to your grill output — for high-BTU grills or multi-burner setups you may opt for the ~2,300 CFM models. Also plan ducting runs, discharge location, and ensure minimum clearance from combustible materials per the installation manual.
