@@poormansfoodtruck can you possibly tell me the measurements on the hood in certain spots if I post link to the pics. It will not let me upload pics thanks
@@poormansfoodtruck Why dint you use the fan from vevor instead since the hood is??? Wasn’t good? Trying to get the hood from there since they seams to be the cheapest one and I was wondering about their fans
I like your honesty we are in same boat we start to build our second food truck But this time is a 14x8 trailer we just placed the order for the hood system we are doing it from scratch to LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Have you had any experience with the low profile hoods? They are designed for low ceiling areas. Any opinions about those? Seems like they give you more head room while cooking..
Personally I’ve not had any experience with them - but I will say that they look great! They’re also probably much easier to install and easier to maintain also. In my area at least, I’ve never seen one in action (yet).
I am really not wanting to instal a good in my trailer, I’m not even cooking food I just have food warmers. Might have to fork out the cash and bite this bullet though lol. Think I’m going to rearrange the trailer and cook if I have to.
Depending on your area the health dept may not require you to have one if you’re not physically cooking inside the trailer. But to my knowledge if you do decide to start cooking instead of just warmers, you’ll for sure need one! Hope that I can help if it comes to that!
How about ansul?. Did the fire department do that for you or did you by pass it with fire extinguishers. Thanks. And love your videos wish you luck on your venture.
Hey! I’m having all of my fire suppression equipment professionally installed by a local vendor (I’m not willing to take any risks). Thank you so much for the support! I’d recommend reaching out to some local pros who can quote you on doing the job?
Did your trailer pass inspection with the hood filters that came with the Vevor hood filters? I was told they wouldn’t in Florida but wanted to be sure. Thank you!
For me, I won’t be using an AC unit (too much electrical power is required). I’m sure that you could, however it may be easier to raise your equipment a little higher, than to lower the exhaust hood?
@Poor Man's Food Truck the reason I thought to lower the hood was to catch the heat before it is all over the rig. More efficient? Just speculating a posible design improvement.
Yes! Great question! Automatic fire suppression system is required in FL. I will be having mine installed by a third-party as it also needs to be certified. This will be one of the final steps of my build
This was the “best priced” I could find in terms of quality and price. I’m sure there are cheaper out there but I didn’t want to sacrifice quality also. For the record, it works great!
