A furnace or oven specifically used to fire or bake clay bricks at very high temperatures.
From 'brick' combined with 'kiln' (from Old English 'cylen' and Latin 'culina' meaning kitchen). The kiln is where raw clay gets transformed into durable building material through heat.
Brick kilns can reach 1000+ degrees Celsius and have been the beating heart of industry for millennia—Roman soldiers used brick kilns to supply armies across Europe, making fired clay one of history's first mass-produced materials.
