BBQ range hoods, also known as outdoor range hoods, are ventilation systems designed to remove smoke, grease, and odors generated during outdoor cooking. They are typically installed above grills or outdoor kitchens to ensure a clean and safe cooking environment. Typically they are deeper and more powerful than a standard range hood making them capable and remove the large amount of smoke from your BBQ.

There are several reasons why BBQ range hoods are essential for your outdoor cooking area. Firstly, they help to improve air quality by removing smoke and odors, creating a more comfortable and enjoyable cooking experience.They prevent grease buildup on surfaces, reducing the risk of fire hazards. BBQ range hoods can also enhance the overall aesthetics of your outdoor kitchen by providing a sleek and modern look.

Lastly, as outdoor kitchens are becoming more popular, more and more cities across the USA and Canada are starting to require a range hood for your outdoor BBQ to meet building codes. We advise that you look into your local building codes to see if you require one for your BBQ. However, if your outdoor kitchen has a closed roof we still recommend a BBQ range hood to avoid smoke build-up in your ceiling.
