When looking to install an outdoor range hood, the height at which you mount it is critical for both performance and safety. Ideally, your range hood should be mounted between 36 to 42 inches above your cooktop to ensure it functions efficiently. This range caters to the average ceiling height and captures fumes and smoke effectively, keeping your outdoor cooking space clear and comfortable.
In setting up your outdoor kitchen, remember that the size or style of your range hood doesn’t dictate its mounting height. Regardless of these factors, sticking to the recommended height ensures your hood works effectively without disrupting the design or functionality of your outdoor cooking area.
