Extractor up chimney?
Discussion
In our terraced house, the only place in the kitchen for an oven is in the old fireplace, therefore, the only place for the extractor is above it, in the chimney.
I was just going to fix it in, and let the hot air escape up the chimney with no flue or anything, but turns out that might not be the best idea.
As we're terraced, I can't go out from the back of the fireplace, the only option to re-route it would be out the back of the kitchen, but it's a good 3+ meters.
Is there a way to allow the extracted air to go up the chimney space?

So short answer is, no problem. There is no chimney cover, I'll probably fit one to stop water, I was also considering a flap on the top of the outlet to stop dirt getting in.
No need ref dirt and extractor, they have a self closing flap anyway. Good shout putting a cowl etc on the chimney to keep birds etc away. What you need is a pepper pot cover that sits in the chimney pot. HTH
Thanks for all the help.
