Is there a specific technical term for this sloped capstone where a masonry chimney structure widens to the side?

- Thanks

I've been calling it "that slanty thing". Is that wrong?

Yeah Nick,

I only comment on a chimney if it has a 'slanty in'!

But, thanks Scott and Bob for the real answers! ~Don
