Hi,

I have Belling Kensington 110G free range cooker that we would like to fit into a chimney space.

I would like the fumes from cooking to go into an extractor unit and then up a flue lining in the chimney breast, with the fumes leaving the house via the chimney pot on the roof (2 stories up).

The problem I am having is;

a) I can't find an extractor unit that we can recess into the chimney breast that will do the job- made worse because the chimney breast is only 38cm deep and I also need a large width extractor unit as the cooker is 110cm wide.

Can anyone suggest one that would work for me.

b) The next problem is condensation - I am assuming the extractor unit will have a flex lining attached to it which will run up to the top of the chimney.  When the air gets to the top it will have cooled and there must be a risk of water running back down to the unit.  Guess I need some sort of drip tray?

Thanks.

The last time we did anything like this, we used a thin wall spiral wound stainless steel duct, with a cowl mounted fan (controls mounted by cooker, and a panel made up (by local metal work company ) just within reach inside of the lintol, to allow 3 filter panels to be housed in.... that way it catches the oil/grease etc, in the filters, and yet due to the location of the fan, it was not really heard, plus with a cowl mount, it had flap dampers to stop and draughts coming back down the chimney....

hope that helps a bit...
