Ventilation for indoor smoking

Adam, I've been in ventilation since 1983. If you want some help sizing and selecting a fan, PM me with your phone number and I'll call you back.

I have some good friends who converted a basement bedroom into a cool bar. The house is on a slope, so there is a good size window on one wall. A small, simple box fan has always worked for them.

For a larger area, like yours, I'll bet you need some sort of overhead ducting.

Overhead ducting is essentially what I'm betting on, especially since there will be no windows for this area.

But I have no idea how many cfm is necessary, the number of fans, any sort of fresh air inlet, keeping all vents properly insulated, etc.
