The vacant space left for economy in the construction of a chimney to bring out a chimney breast to the desired width, or to the desired angle, as for a corner fireplace. 2. The prolongation of a flue below a lateral opening, – as for a stovepipe, – used to catch mortar or soot falling from above. (Sturgis, 1900)
