No response on the kitchen forum so I'm trying here instead! I've torn out our old kitchen and now I'm wondering how to install the range hood. The old hood was placed in a cabinet, which was attached to a board nailed to the chimney breast! The house contains many such "special solutions" so I'm not too surprised. The new hood will be in the same place, but not built into a cabinet; instead, I've bought a "regular" hood. Can I screw it directly into the chimney breast? Wondering "Someone who's never torn out a kitchen before"
