This is conducive to the accurate and rapid connection and installation of the chimney base 1 with the kiln chimney and the air supply chimney 5.

[0040] Furthermore, the air supply port 51 is arranged on the opposite side of the air supply chimney 5 to improve the air supply and cooling effect, and the symmetrical arrangement prevents the smoke from overflowing from the air supply port 51.

[0041] A kiln chimney waste heat recovery device, the specific heat recovery steps are as follows:
