The innovative design of these kilns features:  

• Full width, front loading doors
• Even temperature distribution throughout the kiln chamber
• Precise atmosphere control
• High velocity, natural draft, Venturi burners
• Multi-directional downdraft circulation
• Elimination of all deflection devices characteristic of other kiln designs

The Geil Downdraft Patented Design differentiates itself from other kiln designs with its unique placement of the burners in relation to the draft.  The vertical positioning of the natural draft, high velocity burners produces excellent fuel-air mixture without the need of electric blowers.  (see illustration).  The frame construction and exterior shell of the Geil Downdraft Kiln consists of heavy gauge structural steel at each joint to provide for maximum strength and durability.  Tested and certified for consumer safety by CSA International (formerly the American Gas Association). 

FIRE BRICK KILNS 

Fire brick kilns are built with full depth arch construction extending directly to the door opening, providing stacking space to the top of the arch.  2500º F Insulating Fire Brick backed by high temperature block insulation constitutes the kiln’s interior.  Professional models will fire to 2500º F (Cone 14).
