What is the large oven for baking bricks?

Here's a bit more information about kilns:

* Types: Kilns come in various types, including tunnel kilns, beehive kilns, and Hoffman kilns. Each type has its unique design and firing process.

* Function: Kilns provide controlled heat for baking (or firing) bricks, which hardens the clay and gives them their strength and durability.

* Process: Bricks are loaded into the kiln, and the temperature is gradually raised to a specific temperature, often around 2000°F (1100°C). The bricks remain in the kiln for several hours or even days, depending on the type of clay and the desired properties.

So, the next time you see a brick building, remember that those bricks were baked in a large oven called a kiln!
