Abstract

Kilns for processing ceramics and methods for using such kilns are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a kiln includes an inner body configureured to hold one or more ceramic workpieces for processing. The kiln can also include an outer body at least partially surrounding the inner body and spaced apart from the inner body to define an airflow passageway therebetween. The airflow passageway includes an inlet proximate to an upper portion of the outer body and an outlet proximate to a lower portion of the outer body. The kiln can further include an air mover positioned to move air through theairflow passageway from the inlet toward the outlet. In several embodiments, the kiln can additionally include a lid assembly pivotably coupled to the outer body and configureured to sealably close against at least the inner body.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 628,693, filed November 17, 2004, and U.S. Patent (to be assigned), filed November 16, 2005, both of which are hereby incorporated in their entirety Included here for reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to kilns for processing ceramics, and more particularly to portable kilns for use in a domestic environment. Background technique [0004] Kilns can be used to harden, fire and / or dry many different materials. In one common application, for example, kilns are used to produce ceramics. This process, commonly referred to as "baking," may involve chemically refining the clay object by heating until a crystalline matrix in the form of silica and alumina is formed, thus making the resulting ceramic object hard and durable. Depending on the size, composition and desired finish of the ceramic item, this process ca...
