I am pretty much convinced that I want to vent my stove in our new
kitchen, but we're designing in an over-the-stove microwave and the
cabinet above the microwave does not go all the way to the ceiling. I
have been looking at how a clothes dryer vent works running up in the
wall and was thinking about venting the microwave into and up the wall
behind it and not blasting thru the cabinet above it. And even if I
did extend into the cabinet above it I can't go out of the top of the
cabinet as it doesn't go to the ceiling.

Any hints, experiences or suggestions?????

In the Phoenix area, at least, it's common practice in kitchens that don't
have a soffit above the upper cabinets or where the upper cabinets do not
reach the ceiling, to run the duct up through the upper cabinet, and on up
through the ceiling. The duct exposed above the cabinet is nicely boxed in
either with matching cabinet wood, or drywalled and painted.
