The Large Kiln is a clay oven for firing shaped clay into finished ceramics. The game describes it as a large kiln for firing clay items.
It serves Pottery, and through Pottery it also serves Blacksmithing and building work. Clay pieces are first shaped at the Pottery Wheel or the Pottery Bench. They stay unfired and fragile until a kiln bakes them. The Large Kiln is the bigger kiln and counts as the advanced kiln in recipes. It fires larger batches of bricks and tiles than the Small Kiln. It is also the only kiln that fires the mold for a Blacksmith Anvil. The survivor builds it from clay.
How to Build Large Kiln
The build recipe is Build Large Kiln, listed under Pottery in the build menu. It takes twenty Clay and a Mason's Trowel, and the trowel is kept. The recipe is known from the start.
The cost in clay is the same as the Small Kiln. The large kiln is sturdier, starting at 200 health against 150. Each point of the builder's skill adds 50 more health.
The Build Large Kiln recipe is in the Pottery build menu. It needs no skill level.

How to Use Large Kiln
Each firing is a recipe at the kiln. The unfired clay piece goes in together with the fuel. Every firing takes something to start the fire, such as matches or a lighter. It also takes one log or one piece of charcoal to burn.
The fuel cost is the same whether one bowl or a stack of bricks goes in. That is why the large batch recipes here save fuel. Firing six bricks or eight tiles at once uses the same single log as firing one plate.
Clay pieces are shaped somewhere else first. The Pottery Wheel turns bowls, pots, mugs and crucibles. The Pottery Bench presses molds such as the sheet mold.
Crafting Recipes
Tableware is the first thing most potters fire. Fire Clay Bowl, Fire Clay Mug, Fire Clay Plate, Fire Clay Teacup and Fire Clay Pot give a kitchen its dishes. Fire Clay Jar makes a Ceramic Jar for storage.
Building materials come next. Fire 6 Bricks makes Brick for masonry work. Fire 8 Clay Tiles makes Ceramic Tile. Fire Clay Shingle and Fire Clay Pipe Segment cover roofing and plumbing parts.
Metalworking depends on this kiln for its ceramics. Fire Clay Crucible makes the Large Ceramic Crucible and Small Ceramic Crucible that carry molten metal. Fire Clay Bar Mold, Fire Clay Ingot Mold and Fire Clay Sheet Mold make the casting molds. Fire Clay Blacksmith Anvil Mold makes the Ceramic Blacksmith Anvil Mold, which only this kiln can fire.
Fire 4 Limestone burns Limestone into Quicklime. Fire Glass Blowing Pipe readies the pipe for Glassmaking. Fire Mortar and Pestle and Fire Smoking Pipe round out the list.
Every recipe made at the Large Kiln is listed with what it uses up, the tools it hands back and the skill it asks for. A "Yes" under Learned means the recipe has to be learned before it shows up. Each tab holds one crafting menu category.

Notes
- The build tooltip reads: a large kiln for firing clay items.
- Each firing burns one log or one piece of charcoal, whatever the batch size.
- Fire bricks and tiles here rather than in the Small Kiln to save fuel.
- The Ceramic Blacksmith Anvil Mold can be fired only in this kiln, so build it before casting an anvil.
- A Mason's Trowel is the only tool the build needs, and it comes back.
