Chimney use to remove the flue gases and smoke from the building and from the boiler, furnace, fireplace, stove to outside atmosphere. Chimney construct as much as possible in the vertical shape to remove the smoke outside easily. Romans used hole in the bakeries to remove the smoke outside but real chimney found in Northern Europe in 12th century.
