smokestack
Factory exhaust tower
A smokestack is a tall chimney, especially one rising from a factory or ship, through which smoke and exhaust gases escape.
The word evokes industrial-era manufacturing: smokestack industries like steel and coal.
A smokestack may also vent from a locomotive or power plant.
The factory's smokestacks blackened the sky.
