I'm going to be honest with you. I'm an inspector and posts like this freak me out. Please don't build this. If you don't know how the basics of framing, code requirements, how to size members based on local design criteria, then this could end poorly. If your posts are 4x4s, I'd bet your deck is from the early 2000s or earlier. It's probably already undersized compared to current codes. Adding a roof on top without taking into account all factors is a bad idea.

100 cfm per 10,000 btu. You're super oversized.

Just so you know it's code to install a UL listed microwave with an integral fan over the stove. So you could in theory just install a new one.
How big is your stove to warrant an 8" exhaust? What's the CFM? It sounds like you're oversizing.

If you're attaching the deck to the house you 100% need to get down to below frost depth, otherwise the deck will pull away from the house.
