Lol this may sound noobish, but i got flow hood above my stove for absorbing steam/smells or w.e. It sucks in and is pretty powerful and new. Heres a pic. Would this work as a flowhood to innoc under Or should i just stick to a SAB?

Btw my kitchen is very clean + has granite counter top and a glass top stove...So its very easy to sterilize everything.

Though you do have flow, and it is a hood... I don't think those come standard with a hepa filter for true clean air.

That's not how a flowhood works.
I'd stick to the still-air-box. That "hood-vent" you have above your stove isn't filtered. It would just be drawing open air from your kitchen and surrounding areas, blowing contaminates into your sterilized substrate once they were opened.

I wonder if one can build a flowhood out of one of those and a 3 micron Hepa filter...
http://www.standardhepafilter.com/ (I hope I don't get problems for posting this...)
A flowhood is pushing filtered air out and not sucking it in. In each case it needs a strong blower to press air through a very fine filter at a certain Volume per second.

Lol wow i feel stupid now...i never researched flow hood or anything but i always assumed they sucked up air so that any air contams would go into that instead of w.e ur working on. Yes then def not a flow hood aha. Thanks for the info guys.
EDIT: and i came across the idea while sterilizing my BRF jars today and was like hmm....this thing does what a flow hood does no? But alas...the answer was no
