Kilns: Theory and Practice : Updraft Kilns

Most commercially built fuel kilns on the market today are updraft kilns, primarily because of the simplicity of building such a kiln as well as packing and shipping it. An updraft kiln consists of tow basic elements which contribute to its simplicity of design : the first is a firebox, where most of the flame is concentrated, and which is always located directly under the bottom shelf of the stack area. The second is the flue damper system where the flame exhaust is controlled; this is actually a part of the top of the kiln and consists of little more than a hole in the roof.
