Cannabis kitchen planning tool

Cannabis Kitchen Hood & Ventilation Selector

Use this tool to map your cannabis edibles equipment to the likely hood type, airflow (CFM) range, makeup air needs, and odor-control considerations. It’s designed for planning and budgeting and does not replace stamped mechanical drawings or authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) approval.

1. Add your cooking & process equipment

Start by listing the hot and steamy equipment in your cannabis kitchen. You can adjust quantities and add notes as you go.

Optional: quick context
These notes don’t affect the math but help when you export or review projects internally.
Hood types and CFM ranges are based on typical interpretations of NFPA 96 and IMC—always confirm with your local AHJ.
Please select an equipment type and enter a valid quantity.
At-a-glance rules of thumb
These are embedded in the calculator and shown here for reference.
Type I hood Grease-producing equipment (ranges, fryers, griddles)

Type II hood Heat, steam, or odor but no grease (combi, decarb, dishmachine)

Makeup air Usually required when total exhaust exceeds ~1,500–2,000 CFM
2. Hood & ventilation analysis

As you add equipment, the tool calculates a planning-range CFM and highlights likely hood type, fire suppression needs, and odor-control recommendations.
