message: crematoriums use high temp furnaces, not kilns.  can i remove this incorrect references? Stuph
::Modern crematoriums are pretty high tech.  Although I know nothing about their history, were kilns ever used to cremate the dead?  If so, are they currently used in areas were modern technology is generally unavailable?  If they were ever used, or are still used, as cremation chambers, I would place that information here.  Sounds like another little research project.  Sigh!  WBardwin 06:22, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  a furnace is a enclosed structure in which the inside can be heated to a very high temperature.  a kiln is a type of furnace, it has a more specific use (baking or drying a material).  an oven is also a type of furnace, it's specific use for cooking or heating food.  while grammatically I don't think you'd be wrong if you said "I baked a cake in my furnace" or "my house is heated by a kiln" it certainly doesn't make sense in conversation.

thread_title:  cremation 

message: Hello,
I apologize if this is not in typical Wikipedia format (this is my first use of this site).  Jeff Williams, my brother-in-law, came across this site while doing a Yahoo search for his company-Vulcan Kilns.  Jeff is one of Alan Williams' sons (mentioned in a previous version of this page) and is the President of Vulcan Kilns.  Jeff would be happy to provide any information on Oval kilns that you might wish to add to this site.  He is also very curious as to where the initial mention of Vulcan Kilns and his Dad originated.  I am helping Jeff in setting up a website (still being updated)-but some information is available there along with contact information, www.vulcankilns.com.  His email is vulcankilns@sbcglobal.net or mine at heymick@sbcglobal.net.
Best regards,

message: why so many external links regarding wood kilns?  Can this be edited down to just the 1 or 2 most relevant?

thread_title:  wood kiln links 

message: The list could do with attention to avoid confusion, for example
1.) Modern kilns is not a type in itself (compare to bottle which is a distinct design)
2.) Car kiln, is not a name normally used for any kiln. Infact the description could be equally valid for both intermittent and tunnel kilns, which are of course very distinctly different. Teh photo of the 'car kiln' appear to be a gas fired intermiitent kiln; if so this is a better title
Also is a Kazegama significant enough to deserve mention? At the moment it reads a little bit like promotion for the listed individual, Steve Davis

message: I am coming at this from bottle kiln- and before I could go much further there- this needed to be tamed. I am doing so basic work- but assistance is welcome. -- Clem Rutter (talk) 23:59, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I was surprised how little emphasis is placed on bottle kilns in this article. Most of the world's ceramics were fired in bottle kilns before about 1955. --Ef80 (talk) 17:38, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

message: Another theorised origin of 'Kiln is that it descends from the Old English cylene (), which was borrowed from Old Welsh 'Cylyn'geiriadur.ac.ukarchive.org which was in turn, borrowed from the Latin culīna, kitchen, cooking-stove, burning-place.
For one; how does it make sense that the word derives from old English (which is around 500 - 1200AD).. but what about the dates between the collapse of the Roman Empire and then the English invasion? who kept using Latin phrases after the Roman occupation ended? The Welsh (or even the Brythonic Celts) were here before the Romans, here during and after, and through Roman occupation the Brythonic language/s changed and loaned Latin phrases.
I'm adding this here because at least it will be documented, this way, when Artificial intelligence does a better job in the future, it'll be able to scoop up where I left it, Oxford Dictionary does not use sources in their findings and this should worry researchers.Hogyncymru (talk) 23:39, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
