I'd be nervous too! we don't make range hoods out of wood; we use metal. This one pictured is copper in our Medium Copper finish. With a metal range hood, the bottom edge of the hood should be 30"-36" from the top of your range.

Thank you! The insert is metal, but it’s a wood casing (if that’s what you call it). Appreciate you answering my question about distance, I feel better now.
