Default Cooker hoods - Educate me please?

Well after nearly two years, the kitchen is approaching completion. Had Mr
Corgi over to connect the gas hob and 'er indoors decided to try it out by
boiling stuff for about 100 years on all four rings. You can imagine the
condensation!

I wasn't going to bother with a hood, but now I see that it might be
sensible to actually install one.

My problem is that the hob is not near an outside wall. I have looked at
hoods generally and see that most of them are vented through the wall. A few
are "island" hoods that vent vertically.

How do these things actually get vented to outside? A long flexible like a
tumble dryer pipe?

I need something that vents straight up then moves 90 degrees to follow
the ceiling joists, before exiting. A distance of two or three metres.

So I obviously know little and hoping for some education. I'm not keen on a
recirculating because I don't feel that they will deal with moist air
adequately enough.



This of any help
?
