Flue
Definition:
(n.) An inclosed passage way for establishing and directing a current of air, gases, etc.; an air passage
(n.) A compartment or division of a chimney for conveying flame and smoke to the outer air.
(n.) A passage way for conducting a current of fresh, foul, or heated air from one place to another.
