As a result it looks awful from inside the house since it abuts a beam that runs across the kitchen ceiling. Depending on the location of your range you will need to decide if it is easier to vent through an outside wall versus up through the roof.

If you are adding a new range hood over your stove and plan to vent it out through the roof you will need to get an adequately sized duct that will run all the way up through the ceiling into the attic and all the way up through the rooftop where it will be connected to your roof top vent.

Start in the attic and drill a hole through the roof in the desired vent location.
