Hello everyone
Our home is an old style and the stove in the kitchen is recessed into the wall. This recess is actually a chimney which is open to the roof space, so steam etc goes up the chimney. We do clean it regularly but sometimes dirt/dust has fallen down onto the stove which is not good.
Is it better to have the chimney swept more often and leave it as it is or close off the chimney and install a rangehood/filter ?
It worries me that if I install the rangehood, eventually the dust,etc will collect on top of it and that would be harder to get to - so I guess the best solution I can think of is to clean the area, close the chimney off at the top so nothing can "drop in" and install a rangehood/filter.
I would appreciate any advice.
Thank you.
