What are BBQ Range Hoods?

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. The material is thicker and made out of the best quality 304 stainless steel to withstand the harsh outdoor conditions. Paired with mechanical rotary switches, making Victory Range Hoods the best choice for your BBQ hood.

How do BBQ Range Hoods Work?

How do BBQ Range Hoods Work?

BBQ range hoods work by capturing the smoke and grease produced during grilling and venting it outside. They consist of a fan that draws in the contaminated air, filters it to remove grease particles, and then expels the clean air through a duct system. This process helps to prevent the buildup of harmful pollutants in your outdoor cooking space.

At Victory, we designed specific units that are deeper and closed on the back of the range hood to compensate for your BBQ lid. This ensures that the suction is focused above your grill, making them much more effective over your BBQ than a standard range hood.

Can you use a regular hood instead of a BBQ Hood?

We do not recommend using a regular hood above your BBQ for many reasons. Most standard indoor range hoods are made out of thinner material, and often have electronics in them making them not suitable for outdoor use. For outdoor BBQ's stainless baffle filters are a must, while most indoor range hoods are made out of aluminum mesh. One of the most important differentiators between regular range hoods and BBQ hoods is all BBQ hoods must to be deeper and equipped with a larger blower in order to sufficiently ventilate the area.

Why you need a BBQ Range Hood?

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.
