How can I figure out which hood can be installed?

Right now, we have a cheap-looking and pretty useless vent over the cooktop. It is just a rectangle box sitting right under the ceiling. IDK what it is as it came with the house.

I cannot take pix b/c it is hidden behind a brick "cove" wall around the cooking area.

When we were first going to remodel the kitchen, I saw a great floor model SS vent at a local store for a good price. Thank goodness, I had enough "sense" to check first with the contractor who was fixing the roof that very day. :-) He said I couldn't use that vent but I cannot remember why as it was about 3 years ago. Something about the opening, I think.

So, short of calling a contractor (very hard to get around here), is there any way for us to figure out what kind of vent can be installed?

TIA!
