Exclamation Help, need quick reply b/f it is sold... is this fan for studio ventilation okay?

Setting up my first studio!

If I act quickly (online 2nd-hand sale) I can:
- get an old standard range hood for free
and
- buy a 2nd-hand 8 inch 636 CFM fan (Model Elicient AXC 200b) on Kijiji.com for $75. Seller says it is UL rated, but I have no idea what that means?
This gives fan details: (http://www.ebay.com/itm/8-Elicent-Ce...-/390120070256)

Does it sound feasible to put these two together? That is a likely a sufficient CFM fan, I think, if I understand after reading through some of Dale's articles? The fan was just posted online on Kijiji just now... I am afraid if I do not act fast I will lose it! (I think the price is very very good, am I right??)

Plan to have my table and torch under a small window in a bsmt room. Room is about 13 x 15 feet. The venting would go straight up about 3-4 feet and then right-angle to go out the window. I know from Dave's posts to use straight, not corrugated venting, when the time comes.

I am doing off-mandrel soft glass, no fuming or anything. I am purchasing a Lucio torch. Cannot find any info online for setting up this torch except Carlisle's basic info page!

Just learning, thanks for your help, oh experienced wise lampworkers! (even a not-so experienced opinion would be welcome!)
