chimney

Volgens die woordeboek is 'n skoorsteen 'n vertikale struktuur, tipies gemaak van baksteen of klip, wat rook en verbrandingsgasse van 'n kaggel, stoof, oond of ketel uit 'n gebou of struktuur kanaliseer. Skoorstene het dikwels 'n rookkanaal, wat 'n deurgang is wat die rook en gasse toelaat om na buite te ontsnap, terwyl dit verhoed dat hulle die binnekant van die gebou binnedring. Skoorstene kan gevind word in woonhuise, kommersiële geboue en industriële fasiliteite.
