kiln: a chamber in which product can be heated to high temperatures which make the clay body hard and durable Fossil fuels have traditionally been used for the firing of kilns, gas being the predominant used today although electricity is often used
kiln: Oven for hardening, burning or drying substances
kiln: an oven-like compartment built to contain the heat around the item to be calcined, cooked, baked, burned, or fired A "pot" kiln (or field kiln) is usually built with an open top to facilitate loading the kiln "Patent" kilns were metal designs that were patented, and came ready to assemble Thomas Bull had one near his pot kiln Other patent kilns were "continuous," as the limestone moved through the kiln while the fuel (usually oil carried by steam) burned continuously These were more efficient, but were hard to operate with high grade ore which crumbled more easily and jammed the kiln The time saved in reducing the load/unload cycle might be lost when a kiln jammed Limekilns are like updraft furnaces or ovens
kiln: An oven used to process a substance by burning, drying, or heating In contemporary glassworking kilns are used to fuse enamel and for kiln forming processes such as slumping

kiln: A heated chamber used for drying lumber, veneer, and other wood products and in which air-flow, temperature, and relative-humidity conditions can be controlled
kiln: The oven in which ceramic pieces are fired to convert them from unstable greenware into durable finished pieces This term is derived from the Latin "culina", which refers to a structure built for the purpose of retaining heat that is introduced into the main chamber There are a wide variety of kiln types from the earliest known open pit of pre- historic times to the sophisticated, efficient structures used by today's ceramicists The many different types of kilns include: anagama, updraft, downdraft , gas burning, electric, wood burning, open Pit, centenary arch, raku, climbing, and salt See also firing, oxidation, reduction
