- Buy a Quality Chimney: Invest in a good-quality chimney to ensure it lasts longer and works efficiently.
- Pick a Chimney with Smart Features: Choose modern chimneys with features like auto-clean and smart sensors for easier use and maintenance.
- Use the Chimney Every Time You Cook: Turn on your chimney every time you cook to keep grease and smoke from settling in the kitchen.
