Should I vent range hood through wall or roof?

It is vital that you vent your hood outside your home, through the ceiling or wall. It's not healthy for smoke, cooking exhaust, humidity, and contaminants to build up in your attic. Instead, run the duct all the way to the outside. This way, you'll get rid of the smoke and cooking exhaust for good.
