brick kiln

Clay block furnace

A brick kiln is an oven or furnace for firing bricks—hardening them through intense heat.

Traditional kilns were permanent structures; modern industrial versions operate continuously.

The term applies to any kiln designed specifically for brick production: The old brick kiln had been converted into artists' studios.
