Indian cooking — tadka, frying and masalas — produces more smoke and grease than most kitchens abroad, so a chimney here has to be chosen by suction power and cleaning ease, not looks alone. Start with size: the chimney should be at least as wide as your stove, 60 cm for most 2–4 burner hobs and 90 cm for larger cooking ranges. A chimney smaller than the stove lets smoke escape from the sides no matter how powerful the motor is.

Next, look at suction capacity and the filter type. For heavy daily frying, higher suction keeps cabinets and walls free of the sticky oil layer that builds up in Indian kitchens. Auto-clean models heat and collect oil in a tray, which suits families who cook daily and do not want frequent filter washing; filterless designs reduce maintenance further. Also check the noise level — a chimney so loud that everyone switches it off is no chimney at all.

Finally, plan installation before purchase: ducting route to the nearest outside wall, the distance between hob and chimney, and power point position. Ducted chimneys throw smoke out and perform best where a short duct run is possible. Confirm installation charges and what is included, so the total cost is clear before the technician arrives.
