Greetings!
I've just bought an old house where the upright stove sits in a cavity which once upon a time must have been a fire place in the kitchen. I've had the chimney swept, rendered the cavity and had a new oven/stovetop installed.
NOW I need to install some sort of rangehood exhaust. My question is, in the month since I had the chimney swept, every day I get a little charcoal dust fall down from the existing chimney onto my new stove. So if I get a rangehood installed, yes it will stop this black gunk from falling onto the stove top, but won't it simply be banking up into the rangehood? I've seen some extendible aluminium piping (for want of a better word) which kinda looks like what people use for ducted heating. Would it be wise to use something like that to connect from the top of the rangehood, and go right to the top of the chimney?
