What is a "kiln"?
A kiln is a special type of oven used for heating materials to very high temperatures. It is commonly used in ceramics, pottery, and glassmaking to harden or glaze items by firing them at intense heat. Kilns can also be used in other processes like baking bricks or producing certain chemicals. They are designed to maintain precise temperatures and often have insulation to keep the heat contained.
Examples
The brick factory uses a large kiln to bake the bricks before they are ready for construction.
The pottery workshop is equipped with multiple kilns of different sizes for firing various types of clay pottery.
