chimney stack
Brick smoke column
A chimney stack is the visible portion of a chimney that rises above a rooftop, typically made of brick or stone.
In British usage, it often refers specifically to a structure containing multiple flues serving different fireplaces within a building.
The term also applies to industrial smokestacks, particularly tall structures at factories or power plants designed to disperse emissions high into the atmosphere.
The old mill's chimney stack still dominates the town's skyline.
