just a plain pole like the firehouse pole but 1 story tall

As far as I know, the AMB firepole is the fan favorite for stripper poles. I must have seen it used in dozens of different lascivious ways

The only other idea I have for you, short of using decor pipes CC by:

What you can do is to take the base game Combustion Junction fireplace, and put it a 3-5 story tall building. The chimney part will extend all the way up, several levels. Then, you use moveobjects on cheat to remove one of the extended parts of the pipe, not attached to the fireplace or the top smoker, and lower it to the ground. Delete the rest, and viola! A pole!
