Also known as smokestack

A chimney is an architectural ventilation structure made of masonry, clay or metal that isolates hot toxic exhaust gases or smoke produced by a boiler, stove, furnace, incinerator, or fireplace from human living areas. Chimneys are typically vertical, or as near as possible to vertical, to ensure that the gases flow smoothly, drawing air into the combustion in what is known as the stack, or chimney effect. The space inside a chimney is called the flue. Chimneys are adjacent to large industrial refineries, fossil fuel combustion facilities or part of buildings, steam locomotives and ships.

AI overview

A chimney is a vertical structure made of materials like masonry or metal that safely removes hot, toxic gases and smoke from fireplaces, stoves, furnaces, and other combustion sources away from living spaces. Chimneys matter because their vertical design creates a natural draft that helps pull air into the combustion process and channels harmful exhaust safely out of buildings and industrial facilities.
