Are you sure it’s a carbon filter? You can try washing it to get the grease out, most of the kitchen filters I’ve seen aren’t carbon but instead a mesh weave of metal. You can likely find a carbon filter that would work online, or something bigger and cut it down to size.

There is a steel mesh under that is washable and a carbon filter inside. It's a recirculating system so exhaust is back into the kitchen.
Extractor hoods have mesh or metal filters, but recirculating hoods have an additional charcoal filter to remove odor, because they blow the air back into the room.
