Dutch oven with tube along side?

I came across a topless "Dutch oven" in a shop. On the side, it had a tube (hollowed out tunnel) running from top to bottom. Just curious as to what this was. Does anyone know?
 
That's called an "odorless" feature. When placed on a stove eye and such a pan is loosely covered, the natural draft of the woodstove draws cooking odors down the channel into the firebox where the vapors are consumed and exhausted up the flue.
