Do I *have* to have an extractor above my cooker if it's in the chimney breast?

Hi There, We are currently fitting a kitchen into what was our dining room, and our cooker sits in the chimney breast where a woodburner used to be. Do we have to put in an extractor, or can we just block off the chimney, leaving a vent so the air can still flow? Please let me know what you recommend. Thank You.

the steam will not rise sufficiently before cooling and will cause alot of condensation within the flue. i recommend you use a extractor. also check what length the extractor will force the air along. as they vary
