A brick clamp is a traditional method of baking bricks, done by stacking unbaked bricks with fuel under or among them, then igniting the fuel.Sowden, A. M. The Maintenance of brick and stone masonry structures. London: E. & F. N. Spon, 1990. 18. Print. The clamp is considered a type of brick kiln. If the clamp is insulated by packing soil or mud around it, it becomes a scove kiln.Whitney, William Dwight. "Scove, 2" The Century dictionary; an encyclopedic lexicon of the English language, Vol. 7. New York: The Century Co., 188991. 5,415. Print.
