Outdoor Range Hoods

What is the maximum height for an outdoor range hood?

The maximum height for an outdoor range hood is 42”. Mount your outdoor hood between 36” and 42” above the cooktop. This ensures that it does not get damaged from the intense heat of your grill. It’s also close enough to the cooktop to capture the most cooking exhaust.

Do I need a vent hood for an outdoor kitchen?

Yes, especially if you do heavy grilling or frying. An outdoor vent hood will suck all the smoke and cooking exhaust from your grill out of your outdoor cooking area. This makes cooking more comfortable for you – not to mention it’s also pleasant for your guests.
