Selecting the correct chimney size ensures optimal performance and effective smoke removal. The two most common chimney sizes available are 60 cm and 90 cm. The ideal size depends on the size of your cooking stove and kitchen layout.
A 60 cm chimney is suitable for kitchens with a 2–3 burner stove. It covers the cooking area efficiently and works well for small to medium-sized kitchens. A 90 cm chimney is recommended for larger stoves with 4–5 burners or kitchens where heavy cooking is done regularly.
Using a chimney smaller than the stove width reduces efficiency, as smoke and grease may escape. Choosing a chimney that is wider than the stove ensures better coverage and suction.
Apart from stove size, kitchen layout and cooking frequency also influence chimney size selection. For open kitchens or kitchens with limited ventilation, a larger chimney offers better performance.
Investing in the right chimney size improves air quality, reduces cleaning efforts, and enhances overall cooking comfort. Always match chimney size with your stove for the best results.
