Nowadays, every modern chimney has a essential feature of auto cleaning without human intervention.The centrifugal force draws the fumes towards the blower so the oil particles gets liquidized and gets collected in a washable oil collector that can be removed and washed once in a month or so depending on the usage.This feature prevents the accumulation of oil, smoke, or grease particles that affects the suction power of kitchen chimney which in turn decreases kitchen chimney performance.

The hood or canopy size depends on the size of the kitchen. Normally a 2 to 4 burner stove/ hob requires a 2 ft chimney whereas a 3 to 5 burner require a 3 ft one. But to absorb maximum fumes or smoke, a chimney should cover the entire gas stove otherwise the heat, smoke or fumes will move out of the canopy area and cannot solve the desired purpose of a chimney.
