When you’re building an outdoor kitchen… You may be curious if you need a range hood insert or not. It’s a good question! Of course, it depends on your situation. We’ll let you watch the video for all the details… But let’s share a bit of background. Not all homeowners need a range hood for their outdoor kitchen. If you’re setting up your grill island in the open air… You obviously won’t need one! What if you’re installing under a covered or enclosed area? You’ll want to consider a range hood insert in both situations. Why?
There are a few reasons. Of course, safety first! A range hood will ensure that the area is properly ventilated. Naturally… This makes it safer to cook outdoors. There’s another reason you may not have considered. If you’re cooking in a covered or enclosed area… You’re going to get a lot of smoke from your grill!This is going to be quite uncomfortable for you and your guests. It’s an easy thing to fix. Just get a range hood!
The final reason you’ll need one has to do with aesthetics. Without proper ventilation… The smoke will accumulate on the ceiling of your covered or enclosed area. Eventually, that surface will turn into a soot-covered mess. All of these problems are solved with a simple range hood insert. This will be an additional cost you may not have been expecting… So be sure to factor this into your budget. We hope this video has been helpful in your journey to: Dream it. Build it. Live it.
