I am weighing whether to exit a range vent through the wall versus through the roof.
Is there some kind of maximum feet that a range vent can run horizontally?

Also, if "up" is more difficult than "down", there are quite a few stoves being made today with downdraft vents. There may be some external options (as in not part of the stove) that would use the same idea.
Just throwing that into the mix.
Good luck!

Any problem with running the vent pipe above the ceiling then shooting it down through a soffit? |

The only problem I have had with range vents that exited thorough the roof was when the range was going through a self-cleaning cycle during the winter. All that heat exiting at the roof melted snow all around and downhill of the vent outlet. The melted snow created ice damns at the eaves and huge icicles. So, if you live in snow country and have, or ever plan to have, a self-cleaning oven, I would recommend the vent go out the wall, if possible.

The Range vent/Hood manufacturer should have details on their hood/vent. They will be able to tell you if you can vent thru roof or sidewall.

I'd keep the runs as straight and vertical as possible, and vent through a gable end instead of into the soffit space.
Every bend or curve will be an area that creates drag and will collect dust and grease over time.
