Smokehole

noun

Definitions

Noun
  1. 1
    A hole in the top of a building, especially a basic building or structure such as a tipi or yurt, through which smoke can exit.

    "The ovens they now build are well vaulted, with vent-holes on the sides, just underneath the roof, and a chimney closed at top, having a smoke-hole on each side. Through these smoke-holes no spark can get, so as to set fire to the straw spread about it, and the whole kiln is thus preserved from taking fire, owing to the chimney’s being closed at top."
