Q: What About Using a Screen in the Hood Louvers?

A. We have found that this is not necessary because: 1) large objects cannot fall through the louvered openings, and the flow of air and heat is out, not in, and 2) anything in the way of the heatflow/airflow provides resistance and slows it down. HOWEVER, for some reason, some people feel compelled to have a screen in place. If so, you can simply get a 3’ x 7’ piece of aluminum (non-rusting) screen at Lowe’s for less than $10 (GC “Charcoal/Anthracite” color aluminum General Purpose Screen, by New York Wire), cut it slightly smaller than each Hood Louver panel, place it in between the Hood Louver panel and the hood, and let the pop rivets through the Hood Louvers hold it in place.
