- "Brick clamp" also refers to a device (usually powered) to lift quantities of bricks.
A
brick clamp is an traditional method of baking bricks, done by stacking the unbaked bricks with
fuel under or among them and then setting the fuel on fire. The clamp is considered a type of
kiln. If the clamp is
insulated by packing
earth or
mud around it, it becomes a
scove kiln.
