If you are interested in very large kilns this one is tremendous. The book "Nine Thousand Bricks a Day" by the late Jim Lundy and published by the Manawatu Branch of the Historic Places Trust gives a wonderful history of this kiln. These photographs are ones I took some time ago but the ones in the book give even more detail.
Hoffmann kiln is very advantageous which make is very popular for brick production. It is used in almost every country.
