@corner Stone designs. sorry if I had given an impression it mud slinging. but objectively speaking the suggestion to go for a chimney just because someone asked for it instead of addressing the real issue us not what I intended to do. one has to understand all the negatives as well veggie going in for a decision . just like you have the right to suggest there is nothing wrong in pointing out the issues in the proposed solution. none of us are internet warriors but most of us are "sold" items that we will never need in our life by creating an illusion. I know that dinner call it business but I am not in such one and I have the luxury to call a spade a spade. Even now the person who asked for is not sure in what they want but they think that a chimney will solve the issue. engineering doesn't work that way. unless we know what the real issue us, which isn't clear if it is the smoke or the smell and the your of food cooked, the frequency, the 80/20 utility of the kitchen we are not even close to understanding the problem. my intent is to emphasize the importance of understanding the problem and then look for issue and not provide a ready made solution. we can all suggest something by seeing a picture that fire will come and catch the chef if it is located in the window but do you think that what you say is practical. you may construct this as much slinging be as a novice I have a genuine question. how many houses have such a fire accident. we don't even know if the stove is electric or gas. if it is electric then they just no question of fire. so I encourage you to objectively approach and not see this as a mud slinging thing as that's not the point.

Hello there, I would suggest try researching with few dealers before zeroing in on one product. Do a thorough check online/offline as well. Brands that are well established and well accustomed to Indian Kitchen tend to provide better services and spares at much reduced costs. Their products have been refined through decades. Few are Elica, Kaff, Faber, Glen and Kutchina. Some newly introduced ventures are Siemens appliances, Hafele-Nagold, Hindware and Bosch appliances. They are evolving and might take some trial and errors to reach a steady customer base. So make a much informed decision before buying one as it is incredibly crucial to cooking, especially steam and oil suction capacity. Also, you need to look at filter spares costs etc. Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar

Thank you. I was going for auto clean until I came to know auto clean needs duct which will kill our storage space

Hi Manjunath. This is a beautiful blank canvas with lots of creative opportunities. I would highly reccomend you to place the sink/ or a preparation counter along with the window and the HOB & chimney on some other wall if possible.
