Thank you for your videos!!! I am starting my food trailer dream tomorrow! Heading to Georgia from Ohio to pick up my new 8.5x20 trailer to build out!!
Hello I just finished the install of my hood. I want to thank you because of you and your videos I was able to do it. I would like to send you a picture.
Frank, I just want to say thank you very much for all of your explanations and all of your videos. I'm about halfway with the build and just finished the fan/hood install. Things are going easy thanks to your detailed explanations and I appreciate it man! Now on to my plumbing and water system!
God bless. Love the video’s and very professionally explained. Working on my own food truck at the moment and I’m half way through installing the whole thing by myself. You are a life saver Frank. Salute 🫡
Almost identical as mine. I welded 2x1" steel tubing inside and used 1 roof beam that was my 4th piece and made my own duct only about 5" high. Used # 10 ss hex bolts-washers to hold, mount Hood inside to 3 studs on back and 2 studs on roof.
Instead of silicone which will fail in a few years, use butyl instead. You can usually get it in rolls from a metal roof supplier. I've removed roofs that were 20+ years old and the butyl is still in good shape and pliable. It can be molded and placed under and around washer/bolts and will smash into the threads and any holes when compressed. Been using for that purpose for years and haven't had any leaks.
Rummy for the win! Thanks man! I was thinking about this exact type of thing but I had no idea what it was called. I appreciate it! Btw, to others looking, I found a 20 foot roll on Amazon of butyl sealant tape for about $24.
Is a 15 ⁷/⁸ belt driven upward vent fan decent for a 7×14 food trailer. It is used and the ower will function test it for me before purchasing. Just trying to ensure this is a decent move to make. Still haven't purchased my hood yet still looking for one within our budget. 6ft
Hi I’m guiding myself to construct my food truck and your videos have been helping me understand a little bit more each time. I have a QUESTION! How can I know what type or witch exhaust fan I should use the one I need ??
I love your videos thank you so much for doing them.. I'm also building a trailer and I have the same style ceiling is what you have and I was wondering how I was going to attach a square Hood and something like that. Seeing how you have them put the 45 on it will be a big benefit for me as well. My question is what were those jacks that you used to hold it up? Where did you get those? Those would be so handy.
Don't know if you bought them yet but if not these are the ones. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002RL8ODK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B002RL8ODK&linkCode=as2&tag=rollingburrit-20&linkId=cb82312aa8e0e51572af376383eb76a5
Those large hood bolts going through the roof. I would have used thick rubber washers underneath the fender washers. So you won't get leaks.And instead of using flex seal, I would have used mobile home roof sealer. It's a silver seal paint you use a roller to apply.
You're the best! Thank you so much for doing these videos. I have learned a TON. I have a question. I am thinking to simply do/use a Panini press for sandwiches. Will I need a fume hood for this equipment? I am in Colorado. I do not see anything in the regulation that spells that out. I understand that the Panini press has a collection tray for any fats that could flow out or down. Thanks in advance!
hello good day, thanks for your videos and tips. Right now I am remodeling a trailer, but I have many doubts about the hood. My trailer is small and is about 6' 4" tall, more or less, and I can't find a small and not-so-tall hood. Could you help me by telling me where I can get a not-too-tall hood and what size should I have? trailer?
Great videos frank. Question? Why wouldnt you use a seal tught connector on the roof side also instead of silicone or flex seal. I would think it will create a roof leak over time in that small hole.
👋🏼Hi my friend, May I ask, can 100% silicone roofing coating be applied over flex seal, will it stick to each other? Also how well does flex seal adhere to 100% silicone caulking?
As union IBEW electrician I would use electrical tape the switch attached near the fan and black tape potentiometer (dimmer) and wire nuts. Things I’ll get loose because it’s a moving vehicle
How are you friend , I have another question to fasten the smoke extractor up on the roof to the base, did you use screws or bolts with a nut and what number?
Hi Frank thank you for your amazing video bro. Can you help me with this: i have a single-speed exhaust fan and it goes much faster than i need, can i use a motor speed control "Vari-Speed" as yours to control it? My exhaust fan is : 115 V, 3 A. wiring is straight forward: from my input wires, one black (line), one white(neutral) and one green (ground), they are connected in the same order and color to my fan. So in order to add a "Vari-Speed" in between, which means i just connect the my black from the input to one red from the knob, and another red from the knob to the black of the fan? Make sense? Please show me Frank or anyone with that knowledge, thank you all.
To be honest I would not know the answer to this. I just use the kit that comes from hoodmart as is. It's a variable motor switch. I'm assuming guessing since yours is single speed it won't work. But that is a guess
Hey frank, thanks for the videos. I just got my hood in from hoodmart and am installing it tomorrow. Mine has brackets on it for mounting it is a 12 ft hood with electrical on top with only 2 brackets on each end and they don't line up with studs not to sure if you have ran into this before. Thanks!
@@fbaltierrez it was a beast to put up. the electrical for the lights were mounted on the top of the hood so it could not be flush on the ceiling and when I purchased it I chose hanging brackets installed. I had a buddy weld some 2" square tubing up top and it went up no problem.
Hey Frank I’m starting food trailer and I’m up to the exhaust. I would love to get in contact with you and ask a few questions if you have the time buddy. Your like the Godfather of food trucks bro I need some help.
Hey Frank, I have a question: I had made a comment but then deleted it because I actually thought more about it and wasn't sure, so I wanted to ask you first: If that square duct was cut shorter, would it have fit the hole without having to make the hole 1/4" bigger? It seems like the hole was cut bigger, then the duct was cut shorter later. I'm wondering if those two steps were reversed, would you have been able to fit the duct in, due to not having to go at such an angle, with it being shorter? Or am I going to run into the same issue regardless?
Hey Frank , Dude you did a phenomenal job explaining the whole hood installation process, which is the reason I was able to do it myself. My question is why did you never mention that you have to order the fire suppression system with the hood from the hoodmart when you order the hood because I just called today to order the fire suppression system from hoodmart but shockingly they do not sell the fire suppression system by itself , you have to order it with the hood and it comes pre installed.
Hi.Frank. I was looking back at your list of the cost to build a food from the first build and I noticed you had listed I believe $532 for the 3vcompartment sink but in you link to Amazon they are listed at $832. Have they gone up that much? Thanks
Hey Frank, I hope all is well. I’m in the New Jersey area was wondering if you could connect me with someone who does wrapping for inexpensive prices. Thank you in advance.
We're so glad to hear that you love Flex Seal Liquid as much as we do! Keep Flexin' On, Frank! 😎💪🔛
💪💪💪 these products are fire 🔥. I use them on my electrical work as well to seal it all up on roofs
Thank you for your videos!!! I am starting my food trailer dream tomorrow! Heading to Georgia from Ohio to pick up my new 8.5x20 trailer to build out!!
How did it go, Wade? Checking in 2 years later.
Getting ready to do my fan install this evening. Came back for a refresher watch. Thanks, Frank!
💪💪💪💪 bam!!!! You got this
Where did u find ur curb plate my hood didn't come with it
Thank you Frank for sharing your experience/ knowledge with us, its help a lot for me

Hi I’m guiding myself to construct my food truck and your videos have been helping me understand a little bit more each time. I have a QUESTION! How can I know what type or witch exhaust fan I should use the one I need ??
Do you need a makeup air unit? How do you combat negative air pressure when the exhaust is on? Thanks for the video!
No, haven't seen a trailer yet with a makeup air in person. I haven't had any issues with any negative pressure
Great video
Appreciate that

I'll have to try those rubber washers next time. Thanks for that tip
Hey bro when you wire the fan on the roof did you screw you ground to the box?
You can, if you don't it won't affect performance
That was very helpful

Frank thank you for your videos tengo una pregunta si me lo puedes contestar Cuánto te costó el hood
1,500
hello good day, thanks for your videos and tips. Right now I am remodeling a trailer, but I have many doubts about the hood. My trailer is small and is about 6' 4" tall, more or less, and I can't find a small and not-so-tall hood. Could you help me by telling me where I can get a not-too-tall hood and what size should I have? trailer?
I wouldn't know where to find something like that unfortunately. I have only used Hood Mart. These are somewhat small only 30 inches tall.
Great videos frank. Question? Why wouldnt you use a seal tught connector on the roof side also instead of silicone or flex seal. I would think it will create a roof leak over time in that small hole.
Hey, frank thanks for all the help. Hey did you drop the hood to get the bolts on to hold down the plate for the fan?
Thanks frank, question the ducts and the curb plate, where you buy them?
They come with the hood. No seperate purchase required
👋🏼Hi my friend, May I ask, can 100% silicone roofing coating be applied over flex seal, will it stick to each other? Also how well does flex seal adhere to 100% silicone caulking?
If it was me I would do the silicone first and the flex seal on top of that.
As union IBEW electrician I would use electrical tape the switch attached near the fan and black tape potentiometer (dimmer) and wire nuts. Things I’ll get loose because it’s a moving vehicle
So I ran a 12/2 wire to the hood switch and cannot really pull another wire through. Could I just wire nut both red wires on the 1 hot wire?
That's all I ran to my hood switch. One cable to come in for power one cable to go out to hood. If that's what you meant
Hi! What’s the difference in having the big screws going up vs down?
Once you put the fan housing on the roof how did it fasten to the flanges? Thanks
Using the bolts, goes from hood up to the roof
Thanks gor you good Videos!
Hey Frank, does it matter what way you install the bolts?
I would say yes. You don't want the threads down in your hood
In my opinion
Frank, doesn't the Exhaust Fan control also have to be tied in to the Fire Suppression system?
Not required for us here, could be with you, you have to check with your local fire and city
How are you friend ,
I have another question to fasten the smoke extractor up on the roof to the base, did you use screws or bolts with a nut and what number?
It all comes with the hood, all one kit.

Hello, do you aver happen that the roof is leaking, what do you think can be
Never happened to me yet. If it does just need to add more flex seal
Hey Frank 👋🏾,,, what did you do with the green wire in the speed dial ??
You can connect it to the box, or the switch has a little green screw or wire that can be attached too
Hey frank, thanks for the videos. I just got my hood in from hoodmart and am installing it tomorrow. Mine has brackets on it for mounting it is a 12 ft hood with electrical on top with only 2 brackets on each end and they don't line up with studs not to sure if you have ran into this before. Thanks!
That's a big hood. Don't know what you mean by 2 brackets
@@fbaltierrez it was a beast to put up. the electrical for the lights were mounted on the top of the hood so it could not be flush on the ceiling and when I purchased it I chose hanging brackets installed. I had a buddy weld some 2" square tubing up top and it went up no problem.
Hi Frank, what do you do with the ground wire up on the roof when wiring the fan?
You can connect it to the switch ground screw on the switch
Hey Frank I’m starting food trailer and I’m up to the exhaust. I would love to get in contact with you and ask a few questions if you have the time buddy. Your like the Godfather of food trucks bro I need some help.
Is the wired you used to connect the hood switch to the dial 14-3 or 12-3
You can use 14-2 or 14-3. Both work 👍
Wait, why did the bolts that came with the hood need to be replaced? You said they became stripped down, but why? thank you
Not sure why, but the Galvanized ones work much better. That's just my opinion from installing several now
Hey what's up Frank, I need a little over 50 Amp service. Do I still use 8 guage wire and 50 Amp power inlet
I would go with 6 gauge
Hey Frank, I have a question:

That's a tough one, I know with the other I cut, I used that angle to my advantage and made it fit more flush. But took a few to get it lol
WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR FLOORING THAT IS AVAILABLE IN 8' WIDE???
I have only used diamond plate and the rubber coin grey flooring. I believe you can order it in 8 wide but not sure
Hey Frank , Dude you did a phenomenal job explaining the whole hood installation process, which is the reason I was able to do it myself.

Call a fire extinguisher company. Cheaper
What size breaker do you use for the fan?
Question I'm building a food truck in FL what guage stainless or aluminum do I need?
I'm buying 22 or 20 gauge my recommendation
Hello Frank do you ever made a food truck out grid electric like with inverter and a battery instead a generator
Never. I love the generator style
@@fbaltierrez ok thanks for the advice I built a 10 ft trailer with you videos now I go for a 27 ft school bus transformation
Why such a big exhaust fan ? Because Hood is very wide? Aren’t there more powerful modern smaller exhaust fans?
That's what is provided from Hood Mart, no other option available that they have mentioned
The cone bit worked for me. I purchased the 9/16 and it just danced around 😢
Does it matter what side you put your vent and hood on
I would assume no. Will just affect where the serving window will go
Gracias por tu video
When wiring up the switch inside the truck what connects to the green wire?
Nothing that would go-to the green screw on the switch
Hi.Frank. I was looking back at your list of the cost to build a food from the first build and I noticed you had listed I believe $532 for the 3vcompartment sink but in you link to Amazon they are listed at $832. Have they gone up that much? Thanks
En donde estás ubicado..?
Quiero saber si me puedes construir una?

And how many days take to do the work?
For the hood can be a 1-2 day job.
