I think the traditional advice is you always want your hood larger than your range by at least a few inches on each side. I did not do this in one of my more recent kitchen remodels and really regret it. I have a 4 burner 36" NXR with a griddle in the middle. When I am using the burners on either side only about half of the exhaust from cooking makes it into the hood's blower. The rest escapes out the side.

Not that it is a big deal or unsafe (although I guess it could be) but Id rather all the exhaust be contained by the hood. But maybe 3" on each side would do

Many would be shocked at how many people have no hood venting and fry constantly.

A lot of the newer higher CFM hod vents, it's okay to be the same size as the range, but it never hurts to go larger.
