Kitchen Chimney Buying Guide for Nepali Homes

Match chimney suction capacity, filter type and duct routing to your kitchen's cooktop and cooking style.

Match suction capacity to cooktop

A chimney's suction rating should be roughly 10x the kitchen area in cubic feet for effective smoke and odor removal.

Filter type matters

Baffle filters suit heavy Nepali cooking styles with more oil and spice better than basic mesh filters, which clog faster.

Plan ducting during construction

Route exterior ducting during the building phase rather than retrofitting, which often compromises performance.

Auto-clean vs manual models

Auto-clean chimneys cost more upfront but reduce the maintenance burden significantly for daily Nepali cooking.
