Installing a Vent Hood
A properly-installed hood can sometimes be used to address the safety restrictions regarding
overhead combustible structures. Please check your local building codes to confirm if this is
an option for your installation.
Important information:
Outdoor ventilation hoods will not "suck" smoke into the hood. The smoke must collect naturally within
„
the capture area of the hood, where the fan can then exhaust the smoke.
Breezes, together with the lack of any sealed system or controlled recovery air, make it unlikely in many
„
situations that all of the smoke will be collected.
A standard residential ventilation hood does not make it okay to use an outdoor grill in a building,
„
breezeway, shed or other such enclosed area.
The bottom of the vent hood must be located no more than 36 inches above the grill grates. The closer
„
the hood is positioned to the grill grates, the more effectively it will capture smoke.
„
The front of the vent hood must be positioned at least 4 inches beyond the front of the grill. If the hood
is positioned too far back relative to the grill, the smoke will be more likely to roll out in front of the hood.
