To bake in a kiln

When making pottery we need to allow the bisque to dry before we kiln it.

An oven or furnace or a heated chamber, for the purpose of hardening, burning, calcining or drying anything; for example, firing ceramics or curing or preserving tobacco
an oven or furnace for baking, burning, or drying industrial products
{n} a stove to dry or burn things in
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
Oven for hardening, burning or drying substances
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
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
A kiln is a chamber or tunnel used for drying and conditioning lumber, veneer, and other wood products in which the environmental conditions can be varied and controlled
a kiln for calcining limestone
The methods of baking pottery varied in design from a simple fire, to one in which the fire was covered by turf, to one in which a clay oven covered the fire The simplest – a clamp kiln – was just a bonfire over the clay pots
A large stove or oven; a furnace of brick or stone, or a heated chamber, for the purpose of hardening, burning, or drying anything; as, a kiln for baking or hardening earthen vessels; a kiln for drying grain, meal, lumber, etc
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
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
an oven, furnace, or heated enclosure used for processing a substance by burning, firing, or drying
A high temperature oven used to raise the temperature of glass until it bends or fuses
a furnace or enclosed heat chamber controllable by pyrometer or pyrometric cones for the firing of ceramic ware in static position
A furnace or oven for burning, baking, or drying something; a building containing a furnace for drying grain, hops, etc or for making malt
An oven or furnace for burning, calcimining or drying a substance
A chamber having controlled air-flow, temperature, and relative humidity for drying wood products
The oven in which ceramic ware is fired or baked
In lumber drying, a kiln is a room or building where temperature, moisture, and the amount of air circulating are controlled to dry wood
A large furnace with a perforated floor heated by either fire or heaters through which malt is dried and roasted
A high-temperature electric oven used for annealing, fusing or casting glass
High temperature oven
{i} oven or furnace in which various substances are baked or dried (i.e. bricks, ceramic tiles, etc.)
a large oven for firing or burning or drying such things as porcelain or bricks
A furnace for burning bricks; a brickkiln
The most important piece of equipment in a ceramist's studio, the kiln may be fired by electricity, gas, oil or wood and may be constructed by the artist herself
A kiln is an oven that is used to bake pottery and bricks in order to make them hard. To process in one of these ovens. a special oven for baking clay pots, bricks etc (culina , from coquere ). Oven for firing, drying, baking, hardening, or burning a substance, particularly clay products but originally also grain and meal. Modern kilns are used in ceramics to fire clay and porcelain objects, in metallurgy for roasting iron ores, for burning lime and dolomite, and in making portland cement
a fireproof box, usually brick lined, or high temperature oven into which heat is introduced by combustion (fuel fired) or by radiant energy (usually electric) designed for firing ceramic ware   Kilns come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, some permanent and some portable
A furnace or oven often used for burning, baking or drying Also used for calcining lime and firing pottery
[n] an oven for baking clay pottery
An oven (electric, gas, or wood-fired) capable of reaching extremely high heats In art, it is generally used to fire ceramic or enamelled objects
kiln dried
Refers to lumber dried artificially in warm chambers The heat is regulated to prevent too-sudden loss of moisture, thus preventing checking, warping, and other defeats
kiln dried
Lumber that has been dried in a Kiln (See Kiln)
kiln dried
a method of drying the lumber to remove moisture which reduces shrinkage, twisting, splitting, or checking of finished lumber
kiln dried
Lumber dried in a kiln at elevated temperatures in an attempt to remove cellular moisture
kiln dried
Wood that's dried by a means of controlled heat and humidity in kilns or ovens to specific ranges of moisture content
kiln drying
drying in a kiln
kiln-dry
dry in a kiln, dry in a special furnace designed for drying items such as pottery (or bricks, etc.)
cement kiln
Cement Kilns are used for the pyroprocessing stage of manufacture of Portland and other types of hydraulic cement. Over a billion tonnes of cement are made per annum, and the cement kiln is the heart of this production process
A kiln
kell
A kiln
kill
dry kiln
a kiln for drying and seasoning lumber
dry kiln
A heated chamber in which cut lumber is dried and seasoned
kilning
Drying grains and hops or roasting them
kilning
An important step in the malting process, whereby germinated barley is dried in a kiln By applying differing amounts of heat during the kilning process, various types of malt can be produced, which in turn influence the flavour and colour of the beer produced
kilning
The process of drying germinated barley Kilning terminates the germination process and roasts the grain The degree of kilning determines the final characteristics of the malt being produced The lowest temperature and duration kilnings provide a light straw-colored malt Higher temperatures and longer kilning produce specialty malts like roast, chocolate or black patent
kilning
The heating of malt to reduce the moisture content, and impart color and flavor The temperature at which kilning is carried out, and the length of the kilning, determines how dark the malt will be
kilning
Drying wood under controlled temperature and humidity
potter's kiln
hot oven used by potters to dry and harden clay
