Phoenix. What are you going to do with it in Phoenix? 24/7 saunas?
If Phoenix has heavy Industries, piped steam is often useful. There's also central heating (just hot water eg for cooking, bathing, dishwasher etc.), however this requires prior design.
Then there's a better option to have the chimney higher up so the hot air doesn't impact downstream.
It's not rocket science but it's not free of cost either
