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.

An electric, gas, or wood-fired oven capable of reaching extremely high heat used to fire ceramic or enamelled objects.

is used for drying the germinated barley, to stop the germination process, on a mesh over a fire containing a certain amount of peat, hence the peaty taste in many malt whiskies. The malt is also dried using hot air. Traditional malt kilns draw the hot air from the peat furnace through the malt by way of a chimney effect generated by the characteristic steep roofs and pagoda heads of many Scottish distilleries.

a brick or stone-lined oven used to bake or fire ceramics

A kiln is an "oven" type of furnace that's used in order to fire pottery and enamels and for drying various other substances, as well. A kiln can be fired intermittently or continuously. These can be gas or electrically powered, come in a variety of sizes and can be used both indoors and out.

A kiln is a chamber used for seasoning timber in which the temperature and humidity of circulating air is controlled to gradually reduce the moisture content of the wood. Drying wood in a kiln is an art to ensure that the wood dries evenly to retain its strength, aesthetic properties and the targeted moisture content. Different species and thicknesses dry at different rates and require a different balance of temperature and humidity. Only kiln dried lumber is used in the production of flooring.

Apparatus for heating glass to a temperature lower than a glass furnace, but higher than a lehr, in which fusing and slumping can be done. Working temperature ranges from 1200 to 2400 F where fusing and slumping can be done. The temperature can be reduced to serve as a lehr.

A furnace, oven, or heated enclosure for drying (wood), or charring, hardening, baking, calcining, sintering, or burning various materials. A furnace for firing clay or glass products or a heated chamber for seasoning wood.

An oven for firing ceramic or glass material. Kilns have taken many forms over the centuries and have relied on many different fuels. Today's kilns are mostly electric, whereas kilns of the 18th and 19th century Staffordshire and Yorkshire were coal fired, relying on an abundant local natural resource.

an oven, furnace, or heated enclosure used for processing a substance by burning, firing, or drying; furnace or oven for making pottery; traditional kilns are fired by coal or wood while modern kilns are fired by gas or electricity.

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. Some sources use the singular, kiln, to denote the site, even though more than one kiln exists. Use of the words "kill," and "kills," may derive from the archaic spelling "killn."

An oven in which ceramic ware is fired or baked.

(pronounced "kill") refers to an oven in which pottery or ceramic ware is fired.

A special oven used to dry and harden clay objects in a process called firing.

A gas, electric or wood fired oven used to fire and harden clay at very high temperatures.

Sometimes known as the potter's oven, kilns were developed originally in the Near East. They are the structures in which pottery is fired. Usually consists of a firebox in which the fire is set, one or more flues carrying the heat into the kiln, a firing chamber in which the pots are stacked, and a vent for the loss of waste gases. Important characteristics include the separation of the pots from direct contact with the fire and the high thermal capacity of the kiln, so that temperature rises much more slowly than in an open firing (see box, p.32). A kiln is thus more suitable for firing fine-textured clays. In an updraught kiln, the type most frequently used in pre-industrial times, the hot gases pass from the bottom of the chamber and exit at the top.

Kilns can be electric, of natural gas, wood, coal, fuel oil or propane. The kiln is the furnace used to fire ceramics or metal.

Basically and insulated box, which is heated to fire clay. They can be either, cross draft, down draft, or up draft. The draft refers to the direction the combustion gasses have to travel from input to exit flues, since no combustion takes place in an electric kiln there are no input or exit flues and they are genuinely heated boxes. The fuels used to heat a kiln are gas, oil, wood, coal (now almost obsolete) and electricity. Each fuel sorce used to fire a kiln offers different possible outcomes for the clay fired in them. The maximum operating temperature for most pottery kilns is about 2372°F, although many woodfired kilns may be fired up to 2462°F.

A place where a material is heated to change it. For example pottery kilns are used to produce hard ceramics by heating warm clays. The heat can be forced to go through the superstructure of the kiln in a particular way to create a special firing environment. Some are shaped like bottles in profile, so acquired the name bottle kilns. (See also bloomery, blast furnace, bail hills, corn-drying kiln and furnace).

During malting the green malt is dried in a kiln in order to prevent germination proceeding too far and using up the starch essential for the production of alcohol. During kilning, peat smoke may be introduced to flavour the malt, though the principal fuel used in the kiln is coke. glossary L

High temperature oven.

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.

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.

Basically an oven made of firebrick or ceramic fibre. Kilns can be electric or gas heated, in the old days would have been coal or wood-burning.

A kiln in which the total charge of lumber is dried as a single unit. It is designed so that, at any given time, the temperature and relative humidity are essentially uniform throughout the kiln. The temperature is increased as drying progresses, and the relative humidity is adjusted to the needs of the lumber. - Category: Guitar Repair/Building

A kiln in which the total charge of lumber is not dried as a single unit but as several units, such as kiln truckloads, that move progressively through the kiln. The kiln is designed so that the temperature is lower and the relative humidity higher at the end where the lumber enters than at the discharge end. - Category: Guitar Repair/Building

An oven or furnace for burning, calcimining or drying a substance.

A kiln is a thermally insulated chamber or oven in which a controlled temperature regime is produced. A kiln is required to come to a controlled temperature, often very high, and so the design of the ovens normally focuses on insulation, and the ability to add fuel over a course of time. Care must be taken not to heat the kiln too rapidly or to too high a temperature.
