Trying to wrap a few final touches on our outdoor area. Does anyone have a good recommendation on outdoor hood vents? Any opinions on wood vs. stainless?

I have a stainless coyote one. Works pretty great. Just wish it was 4 inches higher so I wouldn’t smack my head on it. I need to see if I can raise it. I do keep the stainless ceramic coated to keep it looking good.

I don't know what your outdoor space is like, for example is it part of your patio and connected to the house, or is it a free standing gabled roof? Mine is free standing, gabled, and completely separate from the house. When the roof was installed I had a ridge vent installed. There are 2 ceiling fans that I run in reverse, and they suck the smoke up, then force it out the ridge vent. First time I used it, the neighbor behind me started hollering that my roof was on fire. We all got a good laugh out of that.

What size? This is going in an outdoor kitchen with an attached patio so it needs to vent.

Also, has anyone ever vented it through a soffit before instead of tying it straight into/through the roof?
