dc.description.abstractThe objective of this study is to provide practical approaches on how to construct wood firing kiln from raw materials available at Kankara, in Katsina State of Nigeria. The research has revealed lack of literature on the construction of kilns in the country, with the exception of few by foreign authors. The type of the kiln referred to in this study is a downdraft which can be fired up to storeware temperature (1250oc - 12650OC). The bricks used were fired to cone 10 (1300oc) in order to avoid further shrinkage. In this study, wood is used as fuel and wood, being a solid matter, can only burn on its surface area, unlike gas, or liquid oil, which can spread and burn the whole area exposed to oxygen if ignited.en_US
