Most scientists in the 18th century believed that smoke is produced when heat is applied. Smoke will move from a warm location to a cold location. As a result, once the house is warm enough, smoke will exit through pipes outside.
Because coal combustion was so expensive at the time, only the wealthiest families could afford to own a chimney. As a result, people began to flaunt his wealth by erecting a slew of chimneys above their roofs.
