Picking Your Kitchen’s Best Commercial Oven

26 min read

Hey everyone, Sammy here from Chefsicon.com, coming at you live from my home office in Nashville – where Luna, my rescue cat, is currently trying to make a bed on my keyboard. As usual. You know, after moving from the hustle of the Bay Area to the more, shall we say, rhythm-and-blues pace of Music City, I’ve had a lot of time to reflect on what makes a food business tick. And let me tell you, right up there with a killer concept and a solid team is the equipment you choose. Today, we’re diving deep into a real beast of a topic: choosing the best commercial oven for your kitchen. This isn’t just about picking a shiny box that gets hot; it’s about selecting a core piece of your operation that can make or break your daily grind, your food quality, and even your profit margins. I’ve seen too many passionate chefs and entrepreneurs stumble because they either undersized, oversized, or just plain *wrong-sized* their oven choice. It’s a big investment, and the options can feel overwhelming, I get it.

I remember a friend back in San Francisco, a brilliant pastry chef, who tried to launch her artisanal bakery with an oven that was, frankly, more suited to a small café. The bottlenecks were insane. Her mornings were pure chaos, and the quality, while good, couldn’t scale. Conversely, I consulted for a startup here in Nashville that bought this massive, all-singing, all-dancing combi oven before they even finalized their menu. It was like buying a race car to go to the grocery store – impressive, but mostly unused potential and a huge drain on capital. So, what’s the plan today? We’re going to break this down, look at the different types, what features actually matter, and how to match an oven to *your* specific dream. We’re not just talking BTUs and stainless steel grades; we’re talking about fitting this crucial piece into your unique culinary puzzle. My goal is to arm you with enough knowledge so you can walk into those supplier showrooms, or browse those online catalogs, with confidence, not confusion. Let’s get cooking, shall we?

This journey of selecting the right commercial oven is a bit like matchmaking, honestly. You’re looking for a long-term partner for your kitchen, one that understands your needs, complements your style, and can handle the pressure when things heat up – literally. It’s not a decision to be rushed. Think of the countless hours this piece of equipment will be running, the thousands of dishes it will produce. It’s an investment that pays dividends in efficiency, consistency, and ultimately, customer satisfaction. Or, if chosen poorly, it becomes a constant source of frustration and expense. So, grab a coffee (or if you’re in Nashville, maybe a sweet tea), and let’s unpack this. We’ll try to make sense of the jargon, weigh the pros and cons, and hopefully, by the end of this, you’ll feel a whole lot clearer on what your kitchen truly needs. And maybe I’ll figure out how to keep Luna off my notes.

Navigating the World of Commercial Ovens

Section 1: Why Your Oven Choice is a Kitchen Cornerstone

Alright, let’s get down to brass tacks. Why all this fuss about an oven? Well, think about it. For many, many kitchens, the oven is the central hub of production. It’s not just *an* appliance; it’s often *the* appliance that dictates workflow, menu possibilities, and the final quality of your dishes. A poorly chosen oven can lead to inconsistent cooking, longer ticket times, stressed-out staff, and even higher utility bills. Imagine trying to run a high-volume pizzeria with a small convection oven that can’t maintain temperature – disaster. Or a fine-dining establishment trying to achieve delicate custards in an oven with aggressive, uneven heat. It just doesn’t work. The impact on food quality is immense. An oven that provides consistent, reliable heat tailored to your cooking style ensures that every dish meets your standards. This consistency is what builds reputation and keeps customers coming back. Then there’s the effect on operational efficiency. The right oven can streamline your cooking processes, reduce waste from improperly cooked food, and even cut down on cooking times, allowing for faster table turnover or higher production output. And let’s not forget energy consumption; a modern, efficient oven sized correctly for your needs can save you significant money on gas or electricity bills over its lifespan. So yeah, it’s a pretty big deal. It’s more than just a purchase; it’s a strategic decision.

Section 2: Decoding Your Kitchen’s True Needs

Before you even glance at a single oven model, you need to do some serious soul-searching about your operation. This is where my marketing brain kicks in – it’s all about understanding the ‘customer,’ which in this case, is your kitchen and your menu. First up: What’s on the Menu? Seriously. Are you a bakery that needs to produce hundreds of loaves of artisan bread with perfect crusts? Or a high-volume catering company that needs to roast vast quantities of proteins and vegetables? Maybe you’re a café focusing on baked goods and reheating quiches. The type of food you plan to cook is the single most important factor. Different ovens excel at different tasks. A deck oven is a dream for bread and pizza, but not ideal for high-volume roasting. A combi oven offers incredible versatility, but might be overkill if all you do is bake cookies. Product specificity is your guiding star here.

Next, you need an honest assessment of your Peak Volume & Throughput Expectations. How many customers do you serve during your busiest lunch or dinner rush? What’s the largest catering order you anticipate? You need to think in terms of batch size and how quickly you need to turn those batches around. It’s a balancing act. Underestimate your needs, and you’ll create bottlenecks, slow down service, and frustrate your staff and customers. Your oven will be constantly struggling to keep up. Overestimate, and you’re tying up valuable capital in an oversized unit that costs more to buy, install, and operate, not to mention taking up precious kitchen real estate. Think about your busiest day, your biggest event, and plan for a little bit of growth, but don’t go overboard.

And finally, the ever-present reality check: The Space Constraint Reality Check. Commercial kitchens, especially in bustling urban areas like Nashville or my old stomping grounds in the Bay Area, are often tight on space. You might dream of a massive rack oven, but if you only have a nook in the corner, that dream needs to meet reality. Measure your available space meticulously – width, depth, and height. Don’t forget to account for door swing (will it block a walkway?), necessary clearances for ventilation and maintenance access, and how the oven will fit into your overall kitchen workflow. A giant oven crammed into a small space can be a nightmare for efficiency and safety. Sometimes, a smaller, more efficient oven, or even a stackable configuration, is a much smarter choice than the biggest model you can technically squeeze in.

Section 3: The Main Contenders: An Oven Lineup

Okay, so you’ve pondered your menu, volume, and space. Now, let’s talk about the actual hardware. There’s a whole smorgasbord of oven types out there, each with its own strengths. It’s like a culinary Avengers team, and you need to pick your champion(s).

First up, the reliable workhorse: the Convection Oven. These are probably the most common type you’ll find in commercial kitchens, and for good reason. They use fans to circulate hot air around the food, which results in more even cooking, faster cooking times (often 25-30% faster than conventional ovens), and better browning. They’re fantastic all-rounders for tasks like roasting meats and vegetables, baking cookies, cakes, and pies, and general reheating. Most models can handle multiple pans at once, boosting productivity. While they might not offer the finesse of some specialized ovens, their versatility and efficiency make them a staple. You can find them in gas or electric, various sizes, and with different levels of control sophistication. For many kitchens, a good quality convection oven (or a pair of them) is the backbone of their hot line. One thing to watch for, some delicate items might require a gentler bake, and the fan can sometimes dry things out if not managed well, but overall, they’re solid performers.

Then we have the Combi Oven. Ah, the combi. These are like the Swiss Army knives of the oven world. They combine three cooking modes in one unit: convection (dry heat), steam (moist heat), and a combination of both. This versatility is incredible. You can bake bread with a perfect crust using steam injection, then switch to convection for roasting, or use the combination mode for juicy, tender meats that also brown beautifully. They can also poach, braise, regenerate (reheat) food with amazing results, and even proof dough. The precision cooking capabilities are a huge draw, often featuring programmable controls for multi-stage cooking processes. While the upfront cost is significantly higher than a standard convection oven, a combi can potentially replace several other pieces of equipment (like steamers and sometimes even fryers for certain items), saving space and streamlining workflow. They are particularly prized in operations that have diverse menus or require very precise cooking environments. The learning curve can be a bit steeper, but the results can be phenomenal. Is it always necessary? Maybe not. But for those who can leverage its full potential, it’s a game-changer. I’m still trying to convince myself I need one for my home kitchen, though Luna probably wouldn’t appreciate the steam for her naps.

Section 4: More Specialized Oven Stars

Beyond the convection and combi, there are ovens designed for more specific culinary missions. If your menu heavily features pizza or artisan breads, you absolutely need to know about Deck Ovens. These ovens have one or more baking chambers (decks) with heating elements typically located at both the top and bottom. The real magic for many comes from stone decks (often ceramic or brick), which absorb and radiate heat incredibly evenly, producing that coveted crisp crust on pizzas and a beautiful oven spring in breads. They provide intense, direct heat. While they take longer to preheat and recover temperature than convection ovens, the superior crust development and consistent baking environment are often non-negotiable for pizzerias and artisan bakeries. They come in various sizes, from single-deck countertop models to multi-deck behemoths. They do require a bit more skill to operate effectively, managing heat across different decks, but for certain products, there’s just no substitute.

Now, if your game is all about speed, consistency, and high volume for specific items, then a Conveyor Oven might be your hero. Imagine a long heated chamber with a conveyor belt running through it. You place your items (pizzas, sandwiches, cookies) on one end, and they emerge perfectly cooked on the other. These ovens are champs for operations that churn out hundreds, even thousands, of identical items daily. The main advantages are drastically reduced labor (minimal monitoring needed) and incredibly consistent results, as cooking time and temperature are precisely controlled. They’re common in large pizza chains, institutional foodservice, and some quick-service restaurants. The downside? They’re not very versatile. You can’t really roast a chicken or bake a delicate cake in a conveyor oven designed for pizzas. They also take up a significant amount of linear space, though some models are stackable. But for sheer, unadulterated throughput of standardized items, they’re hard to beat.

Let’s not forget Rack Ovens. If you’re in the wholesale bakery business or run a large hotel or catering operation, these are the big guns. You load entire racks filled with dozens of sheet pans directly into the oven cavity. The rack then typically rotates (or the airflow is managed in such a way) to ensure uniform baking across all items. This means you can bake hundreds of rolls, pastries, or cookies simultaneously with remarkable consistency. They offer massive capacity and efficiency for large-scale production. Obviously, these are large, expensive pieces of equipment requiring significant space and infrastructure. They’re overkill for most restaurants but indispensable for high-volume baking operations. And finally, for a bit of theater and delicious results, especially with poultry, there’s the Rotisserie Oven. Chickens, turkeys, or even cuts of pork or beef are skewered on spits that slowly rotate in front of a heat source. This self-basting action results in incredibly moist, flavorful meat with beautifully browned skin. Beyond the excellent product, rotisserie ovens offer strong customer-facing appeal; seeing (and smelling!) those chickens turning can be a powerful sales driver in retail settings or restaurants. They come in various sizes, from small countertop units to large, multi-spit models.

Section 5: Power Play: Gas vs. Electric – The Ongoing Debate

This is one of those classic kitchen debates, like cast iron versus stainless steel. Should your oven be fueled by gas or electricity? Each has its pros and cons, and the best choice often depends on your kitchen’s existing infrastructure, local utility rates, and even chef preference. I’ve seen passionate arguments for both sides.

Let’s talk about Gas Ovens first. Many chefs, particularly those with a more traditional background, swear by gas. They often cite faster temperature response times – gas burners can heat up and cool down more quickly than electric elements, giving a sense of more immediate control. For oven cavities specifically, this rapid response might be less pronounced than with stovetop burners, but it’s still a factor. In many areas, natural gas is also cheaper than electricity, which can lead to lower operating costs over the life of the oven. However, gas ovens require a dedicated gas line, which might not be available or could be costly to install. They also produce combustion byproducts like carbon monoxide, so proper ventilation (usually a Type I hood) is absolutely critical not just for heat and steam, but for safety. Some also argue that gas heat can be slightly less even than electric in an oven cavity, though modern designs have mitigated this significantly.

On the other side of the ring, we have Electric Ovens. A key advantage often touted for electric ovens is their ability to provide more even and consistent heat within the oven cavity. Electric heating elements can be distributed more uniformly and controlled with greater precision, leading to fewer hot spots and more predictable baking and roasting results. Installation can be simpler, especially if you don’t have existing gas infrastructure, as they just need an appropriate electrical hookup (though high-powered commercial ovens require substantial amperage). While electricity can be more expensive per BTU than gas in some regions, modern electric ovens, particularly convection and combi models, are becoming increasingly energy-efficient. An Energy Star certified electric oven can be surprisingly economical to run. They don’t produce combustion byproducts, so while you still need to vent heat, steam, and grease-laden vapors, you don’t have the added concern of CO. Ultimately, the choice might come down to what your kitchen is already set up for, a thorough analysis of your local utility costs, and perhaps the specific type of oven you’re considering – for instance, many high-precision combi ovens are electric.

Section 6: Size Matters: Capacity, Footprint, and Flow

Okay, we’ve touched on this, but it deserves its own spotlight: oven size. This isn’t just about whether it *fits* in the space; it’s about whether it fits your *needs*. Commercial ovens come in a range of sizes, often categorized as full-size, half-size, or countertop. Full-size ovens are typically designed to hold standard 18″ x 26″ sheet pans, while half-size ovens usually accommodate 13″ x 18″ half-sheet pans. The number of racks and the spacing between them determine the total pan capacity. You need to realistically assess your production volume. How many pans do you need to cook at once during your peak periods? It’s tempting to go big, but an underutilized large oven is an energy hog. Conversely, an oven that’s too small will become a constant bottleneck, slowing down your entire operation. It’s wise to factor in a bit of room for future growth potential, but don’t go overboard. Maybe you’re small now but plan to expand catering next year. That’s a valid consideration.

Then there’s the physical footprint. As I said, measure, measure, measure. Get the exact exterior dimensions (width, depth, height) from the manufacturer’s spec sheet. Don’t forget to account for any necessary clearances around the unit for airflow, cleaning, and maintenance – typically a few inches on the sides and back. And crucially, consider the depth with the door fully open. Will it obstruct a major traffic path in your kitchen? This is a common oversight that can lead to serious workflow problems and even safety hazards. If floor space is at a premium, look into stackable oven configurations. Many convection and combi ovens can be stacked one on top of another, effectively doubling your cooking capacity without increasing the footprint. This is a brilliant solution for kitchens tight on square footage, maximizing that valuable vertical space utilization. Think about how the oven will integrate into your existing line. Is it close to prep areas? Is there convenient landing space for hot pans coming out of the oven? Proper placement is key to an efficient and safe kitchen environment.

Section 7: Bells, Whistles, and Practical Features

Modern commercial ovens can come packed with features, some genuinely useful, others perhaps less so depending on your needs. It’s easy to get swayed by a long list of high-tech options, but focus on what will actually benefit your operation. One of the biggest differentiators is the control system: Manual vs. Digital/Programmable Controls. Manual controls, typically knobs and dials, are often simpler to operate, potentially more robust in a harsh kitchen environment, and usually found on more budget-friendly models. However, they offer less precision and repeatability. Digital controls, on the other hand, provide very precise temperature and time settings, often with LED or LCD displays. The real power of digital comes with programmable recipe capabilities. You can store multi-stage cooking programs (e.g., start with high heat and steam, then reduce temperature and switch to convection) that can be executed perfectly every time with the touch of a button. This ensures consistency, even with less experienced staff, and can be a huge labor saver. Think about your staff’s technical comfort and your need for precise, repeatable results.

For certain types of cooking, especially baking and some roasting applications, Steam Injection or Humidity Control is a game-changer. Steam in the oven cavity helps create beautifully crisp crusts on bread, keeps roasted meats moist, and can improve heat transfer. Combi ovens are the kings of humidity control, offering a wide range of steam levels. However, many modern convection ovens also offer steam injection features, either as a manual shot of steam or more controlled humidity levels. If you’re baking artisan breads, bagels, or even certain pastries, this moisture control capability is crucial for achieving professional-quality results. Even for roasting, a bit of steam can prevent proteins from drying out. Assess your menu: if items that benefit from steam are a significant part of it, this feature should be high on your list.

And let’s talk about a feature that your kitchen staff will thank you for every single day: Self-Cleaning Features. Cleaning a commercial oven, especially one that sees heavy use, can be a grimy, time-consuming, and unpleasant task. Many modern ovens now come with automated cleaning cycles. These can range from steam-assisted cleaning (which loosens baked-on grease) to more intensive cycles that use specialized cleaning solutions and high heat. While ovens with robust self-cleaning systems might have a higher upfront cost, they can save significant labor hours and cleaning chemical costs over time. Plus, a cleaner oven performs better and lasts longer. When evaluating self-cleaning systems, consider the length of the cycle, the cost of proprietary cleaning agents (if required), and how effective the system is reported to be by other users. It’s a feature that often pays for itself in convenience and labor savings. My cat Luna wishes my home oven had a better one, judging by her disdainful looks when I’m scrubbing it.

Section 8: The Unsung Hero: Ventilation (Seriously, Don’t Skimp Here)

I cannot stress this enough: proper ventilation is absolutely non-negotiable when installing a commercial oven. This isn’t just a suggestion; it’s a critical aspect of safety, compliance, and creating a workable kitchen environment. I’ve seen new restaurant owners try to cut corners here, and it always, *always* comes back to bite them. Commercial ovens generate a lot of heat, steam, smoke, and grease-laden vapors. If you’re using a gas oven, you also have combustion byproducts like carbon monoxide to deal with. Without adequate ventilation, your kitchen will quickly become an unbearable sauna, filled with smoke and potentially dangerous fumes. This impacts employee comfort and safety, can lead to grease buildup creating a fire hazard, and will most certainly get you in trouble with the health department and fire marshal.

You’ll typically need a Type I Hood (also known as a grease hood) for most commercial ovens, as they are considered grease-producing appliances. Type II hoods are generally only for non-grease producing appliances that primarily release heat and steam (like some dishwashers or steam tables). Your hood system needs to be correctly sized for the oven(s) it’s servicing, providing sufficient exhaust airflow (measured in CFM – cubic feet per minute) to capture and remove all those airborne nasties. But it’s not just about exhaust; you also need a Makeup Air System. As you suck air out of the kitchen, you need to replace it with fresh air from outside. A properly balanced air system is crucial for the hood to function effectively and to prevent issues like negative pressure in the kitchen (which can cause doors to be hard to open, pilot lights to go out, and even draw fumes back into the building). This is complex stuff. My advice? Consult with a qualified HVAC professional who specializes in commercial kitchen ventilation. They can assess your specific needs, design a compliant and effective system, and ensure it’s installed correctly. This is not a DIY project, and it’s an expense you absolutely must budget for. It’s as important as the oven itself.

Section 9: The Bottom Line: Budget, Operating Costs, and ROI

Alright, let’s talk money. Commercial ovens are a significant investment, with prices ranging from a few thousand dollars for a basic countertop model to tens of thousands for a high-end combi or rack oven. It’s tempting to go for the cheapest option that seems to meet your basic needs, but that can be a false economy. You need to consider the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), not just the upfront purchase price. This includes the cost of installation (including ventilation), energy consumption over its lifespan, maintenance and repair costs, and even the cost of consumables like cleaning chemicals.

Energy efficiency is a huge factor in TCO. An oven that’s cheaper to buy but guzzles gas or electricity will cost you far more in the long run. Look for Energy Star certified models, as these are independently verified to meet strict energy efficiency guidelines. Compare the energy ratings (BTUs for gas, kW for electric) and try to estimate your annual operating expenses based on your local utility rates and anticipated usage. Sometimes, paying a bit more upfront for a more efficient model can save you thousands over the oven’s lifetime. These utility costs can be a substantial part of your monthly overhead, so it pays to be smart here.

Finally, think about the Return on Investment (ROI). How will this new oven contribute to your bottom line? Will it allow you to increase your production capacity and serve more customers? Will it enable you to add new, higher-margin items to your menu (like artisan breads or perfectly roasted entrees)? Will its efficiency or programmable features reduce labor costs or food waste? A good oven isn’t just an expense; it’s an asset that should help your business grow and become more profitable. For example, if a combi oven allows you to produce a consistently superior product that commands a higher price point or attracts more repeat business, its higher upfront cost can be justified. It’s about finding that sweet spot between features, performance, reliability, and cost – both upfront and ongoing. I always tell my clients, don’t be penny-wise and pound-foolish with your core equipment.

Section 10: Installation, Maintenance, and Warranty Wisdom

You’ve done your research, you’ve picked your oven – congratulations! But the journey isn’t quite over. Proper installation and a good maintenance plan are crucial for getting the most out of your investment and ensuring it runs reliably for years to come. Unless it’s a simple countertop plug-and-play model (which is rare for true commercial power), you’ll need professional installation. This isn’t just about lugging it into place. It involves proper leveling (critical for even baking), correct connection to gas or electrical utilities (by licensed professionals!), and integration with your ventilation system. Improper installation can void your warranty, create safety hazards, and lead to performance issues down the line. Factor the cost of professional installation into your budget.

Once your shiny new oven is up and running, ongoing maintenance is key to its longevity and performance. This starts with daily cleaning as recommended by the manufacturer. Beyond that, establish a schedule for regular checks: inspect door gaskets for wear and tear, check calibration (is it actually heating to the set temperature?), listen for any unusual noises, and ensure ventilation components like filters are clean. Many manufacturers provide detailed maintenance checklists. Following these manufacturer recommendations can prevent small issues from turning into big, expensive problems. Consider a preventive maintenance contract with a qualified service company, especially for more complex ovens like combis. They can perform regular tune-ups, catch potential issues early, and keep your oven running at peak efficiency.

And finally, let’s talk about the warranty. Before you buy, understand exactly what the warranty covers and for how long. Is it parts and labor, or just parts? What’s the duration for different components (e.g., heating elements, electronics)? Are there any conditions that could void the warranty (like improper installation or using non-approved cleaning agents)? Perhaps most importantly, find out about the availability of authorized service technicians in your area. If your oven breaks down during a busy service, you need to know that you can get it repaired quickly and by someone who knows what they’re doing. A great warranty is useless if you can’t get timely service. Don’t be afraid to ask tough questions about service response times and parts availability. This kind of service support can be just as important as the features of the oven itself.

Wrapping It Up: Your Kitchen’s Perfect Match

Phew, that was a lot, wasn’t it? Choosing a commercial oven is definitely a complex decision, with so many variables to consider. From understanding your menu’s deepest desires to navigating the nuances of gas versus electric, and ensuring your ventilation is up to snuff, it’s a journey. But here’s the thing: it’s a journey worth taking with care and diligence. This isn’t just another piece of stainless steel; it’s potentially the heart of your culinary operation, a partner in your daily creative endeavors. The right oven won’t just cook your food; it will help you execute your vision, maintain quality, improve efficiency, and ultimately, contribute to your success.

So, what’s the absolute, hands-down, best commercial oven out there? Well, if you’ve been paying attention, you know the answer: it’s the one that best serves YOUR unique kitchen, YOUR specific menu, YOUR volume, and YOUR budget. There’s no magic one-size-fits-all solution. My hope is that this deep dive has armed you with the questions to ask, the factors to weigh, and the confidence to make an informed choice. Is this the most exhaustive list of considerations? Probably not, every kitchen has its quirks. But I think it’s a pretty solid foundation. The real test, of course, is you applying this to your own context, doing that detailed homework for your specific dream. Don’t rush it. Talk to other chefs, visit showrooms if you can, read reviews, and trust your gut – informed by all this glorious data, of course. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I think Luna has finally fallen asleep on my notes, which means it’s probably time for another coffee.

FAQ

Q: How often should I realistically expect to replace a commercial oven?
A: This really depends on the quality of the oven, how heavily it’s used, and how well it’s maintained. A well-maintained, high-quality commercial oven can last 10-15 years, sometimes even longer. Cheaper models or those under very heavy, constant use might need replacement sooner, perhaps in the 5-7 year range. Regular preventative maintenance is key to maximizing its lifespan.

Q: Can I just use a heavy-duty residential oven in my small commercial kitchen or food truck?
A: In almost all cases, the answer is a resounding NO. Residential ovens are not built for the demands of commercial use – they lack the durability, power, capacity, and often the safety certifications (like NSF) required for commercial foodservice. Using one could void your insurance, get you in trouble with health inspectors, and it likely won’t last long anyway. Always opt for a proper commercial-grade oven.

Q: What’s ultimately more important when choosing an oven: lots of advanced features or proven reliability and simplicity?
A: This is a classic dilemma! For most operations, I’d lean towards proven reliability and simplicity as the foundation. An oven that’s constantly breaking down, no matter how many fancy features it has, is a liability. However, if specific advanced features (like combi oven programmability or precise steam control) are essential for your menu and can genuinely improve your product or efficiency, then they are worth investing in, provided the oven also has a good reliability track record. It’s about finding the right balance for your needs and not paying for features you’ll never use.

Q: How much extra should I budget for ventilation when I’m buying a new commercial oven?
A: This is tough to give an exact figure for because it varies wildly based on your existing setup, the type and size of the oven, local code requirements, and the complexity of the installation. However, it’s a significant cost that many people underestimate. It could range from a few thousand dollars to upwards of $10,000 or even $20,000+ for a complex system or if extensive ductwork and makeup air solutions are needed. Always get quotes from qualified commercial kitchen ventilation specialists early in your planning process. Don’t treat it as an afterthought.
