Roof Or Soffit Vent?

ch0mpie

I'm renovating a kitchen, and I will be installing a vented hood over the stove. No shortage of space to run duct work, but there is not a wall to come out off. I'm trying to decide if it would be better to come out the roof or out of the soffit. If I go out of the roof(4/12pitch) I will only have a 12' run. If I go out of the soffit I will have to run about 20' and the soffit is about 5" wide.

Roof............ You don't want that greasy, moist air going out the soffit.

Get a roof vent designed for range hoods. They have a baffle in them that opens when the range hood is running, and closed when not in use.

will do thank you

Roof. Definitely.

Make sure to screw all connections before using foil tape. Have a grease fire in the duct, and it may save your bacon.
