Titanic had 159 coal burning furnaces fueling the boilers and 5,892 tons of coal, burning one pound for every foot she traveled, or 600 tons of coal a day. This means that 100 tons of ash a day were disposed of.
The funnels had different amounts of output, however. The fourth, often called "the dummy funnel", was used only for ventilation for places like the galley (kitchen).
Because the titanics boilers did not measure how much steam was boiling if there was to much steam it would go out the funnels that were 63 feet high.

Titanic had three "real" funnels and one "fake" funnel. The forth funnel was put on for ventilation, balance and to make the ship look more powerful. The Titanic's rivals Mauritania and Lusitania both have four funnels and people might have thought Titanic less powerful and slower because it would have only had three funnels.
