The industrial oven used to bake, fire, or cure bricks is called a kiln. A brick kiln uses very high temperatures to harden raw clay bricks into durable building materials. This is different from a brick oven used for cooking, which is a masonry structure designed to retain and radiate heat for baking and roasting food.
