ᐅ Repurposing a Chimney – Any Ideas?

Hello,
we had a chimney built into our house in case we wanted a fireplace later. By now, I have to say that I actually don’t want a fireplace anymore. My husband is also undecided about it. Now I’ve been thinking about what else it could be used for.
My kitchen is directly next to it. Could I connect the kitchen exhaust hood to it? Or would there be whistling noises in the kitchen? I also thought about setting up a small indoor greenhouse with ventilation inside the house. That way, we’d have fresh tomatoes in winter.

Does anyone else have any ideas?

Exactly...a built-in smoker!

In less modern terms, you could simply call it a smokehouse or smoking cabinet.

Could be combined with a central vacuum system

I had also considered what to do with the chimney, for example, to use it for venting the air conditioning system, but condensation could cause mold even though a drain is present.

That smells fishy to me.

Combine the tips and smoke meat and ham with the marijuana smoke; the tomatoes will probably taste good with it too.

Well, normally you bake cakes...
An oven... would that still be an option?
