The Small Kiln is a clay oven for firing shaped clay into finished ceramics. The game describes it as a small kiln for firing clay items.
It serves Pottery, and through Pottery it also serves Blacksmithing and building work. Clay pieces are shaped at the Pottery Wheel or the Pottery Bench and stay unfired until a kiln bakes them. The Small Kiln counts as the primitive kiln in recipes. It fires the same tableware, crucibles and molds as the Large Kiln. Its brick, tile and limestone batches are smaller. The survivor builds it from clay.
How to Build Small Kiln
The build recipe is Build Small 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 finished kiln has 150 health. Each point of the builder's skill adds 50 more.
The Large Kiln costs the same twenty Clay. A potter with enough clay can go straight to the large one.
The Build Small Kiln recipe is in the Pottery build menu. It needs no skill level.

How to Use Small Kiln
Each firing is a recipe at the kiln. The unfired clay piece goes in together with the fuel. Every firing needs something to start the fire, such as matches or a lighter. It also burns one log or one piece of charcoal.
The fuel cost stays the same for a single plate or a small stack of bricks. Batching the brick and tile recipes therefore saves logs.
Crafting Recipes
Tableware comes first for most potters. Fire Clay Bowl, Fire Clay Mug, Fire Clay Plate, Fire Clay Teacup and Fire Clay Pot fill a kitchen with dishes. Fire Clay Jar gives a Ceramic Jar for storage.
Building parts come from the batch recipes. Fire 3 Bricks makes Brick for masonry. Fire Clay Tile makes Ceramic Tile in a small batch. Fire Clay Shingle and Fire Clay Pipe Segment cover roofs and pipes.
Metalworking needs the kiln for its ceramics. Fire Clay Crucible makes the Large Ceramic Crucible and Small Ceramic Crucible that hold molten metal. Fire Clay Bar Mold, Fire Clay Ingot Mold and Fire Clay Sheet Mold make the casting molds for the furnace and forge.
Fire 2 Limestone burns Limestone into Quicklime. Fire Glass Blowing Pipe readies the pipe for Glassmaking. Fire Mortar and Pestle and Fire Smoking Pipe complete the list.
Every recipe made at the Small 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 small kiln for firing clay items.
- Each firing burns one log or one piece of charcoal, whatever the batch size.
- The Ceramic Blacksmith Anvil Mold needs the Large Kiln, so plan a second kiln before casting an anvil.
- Crucibles and molds from this kiln are enough to start smelting at a furnace.
