Well, let me tell ya, this here kiln, it’s a real hot tamale! You see, we use it to bake them bricks, make ’em hard as rocks. It’s like a big oven, but hotter than the devil’s kitchen on a summer day.

This kiln, it gets hotter than a cat on a hot tin roof. You gotta be careful ’round it, that’s for sure. It uses all sorts of heat. They say the kiln can get to really hot, over 2400F, and you know I don’t know nothing about that. I just know that is hot! Don’t go sticking your hand in there, or you’ll be sorry!
It’s important, they say, to get the right temperature. If you don’t, them bricks, they won’t be no good. We needs good bricks, the kiln makes the bricks tough, see?.
How to Use a Brick Kiln
- First, you gotta put the bricks in there just right. They say loading it is important, or something like that.

Now, I heard them fancy folks talkin’ ’bout somethin’ called silica and carbon… something. Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me. But they say it’s in the air when you’re makin’ bricks. And that sulfur stuff, it smells like rotten eggs! You gotta be careful with all that stuff, it ain’t good to breathe in. They say it can make you cough, or worse.
Don’t go peekin’ in the kiln when it’s hot! And don’t go messin’ with the settings neither. It’s important that the bricks cook right, or else they ain’t no good to nobody.
They say the time it takes to make the bricks depends on the clay. The kiln, it’s like bakin’ a cake, but way hotter. You gotta have the right kind of clay, or the bricks will be all crumbly.
They put a lot of bricks in at once, so many you can’t count them. And then they close it up tight, so no heat gets out. They keep it hot for a long time, longer than it takes to bake a pie, that’s for sure. When the bricks are done, they are real hard, good for building, they won’t break easy, you see?
