Hot stuff: The kiln at Brampton Brick is some 420 feet long. It reaches a temperature of 1950 degrees using a mixture of 30% natural gas and 70% petrocoke, a byproduct of the oil refining industry. Total firing time for the bricks is 32 hours. The facility is now running some 100 million standard bricks, or their equivalent each year. Jim Avelis / The Tribune-Star Order photo reprints
