The chimney, which was used to exhaust the gases from the stoves, extended 140 feet into the air. At the bottom of each stove was an exhaust pipe that exits into an underground tunnel system that connects to the chimney. The tunnel system (pictured at left) was brick lined. (You can see the entrances to two of the tunnels at the side of the round stove bases.) The stone base of the chimney is one of the largest foundations that is still visible. The base of the chimney was hollow allowing the stove exhausts to escape up the chimney.
