Take a look at Broan. I don't use gas, but I do have a 48
inch cooktop with a double sized indoor grill in the middle.
I have two fans instead of the optional 3 or 4 and I haven't
been sorry for a minute about the choice. In fact, I use
only one fan set on low speed for most of my ventilation
needs.
