Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere. Just about to take delivery of dual fuel range gas hob elec ovens. It is on an internal wall as will the chimney hood of course there is no practical way of venting it outside. Is this ok to recirculate

Provided you comply with ALL the requirements set out in the instructions for the installation of the hood in its re-circulate mode it should be OK

But you will HAVE to keep an eye on the filters and clean or replace them when needed.

Because of the risk of a greasy filter in the hood catching fire some forms of cooking are high risk and not recommended. Flambe cooking being one of the banned methods.

Is there no way of running a duct to an external wall to use the hood as a filter less extractor ?
